Sunil Kumar S, Head Human Resources
Department, Bhima Gold Pvt. Ltd.
Could you introduce yourself to the audience?
“Hello, everyone. I'm Sunil Kumar S., an HR leader with over two decades of diverse experience dedicated to driving transformational change through strategic people management. My journey has been centered on empowering organizations to thrive by creating inclusive, forward-thinking cultures that not only support business goals but also champion the growth and well-being of every individual. I'm thrilled to be here to share insights from a career devoted to unlocking the potential within teams and organizations.”
Perhaps you can guide us through your
educational and professional history, including a few high points and
experiences that shaped your career?
“My professional journey started with a Bachelor's in
Commerce from Christ College, Bangalore, followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in
Personnel Management from NIPM Kolkata, and further, an Executive Diploma in HR
from IMT Ghaziabad. I went on to become a Junior Executive and gradually
progressed, collecting valuable exposure at Bharti Airtel, PNB MetLife, and
Sistema Shyam TeleServices. Each profile, I believe, was a stepping stone to
understanding and sharpening my approach towards HR. One of my career milestones
has been taking the role of Head of HR at Bhima Gold Private Limited, where I
had the opportunity to align human resources strategies toward growth and
resilience. Through each of these experiences, I have learned that a
people-first approach not only constructs powerful teams but basically sparks
the heartbeat of an organization.”
What are your HR expertise areas, and what
sparked your passion for the field? How has your perspective evolved?
“I’m deeply skilled in talent management, employee
engagement, change management, diversity and inclusion, and process
optimization. My passion for HR stems from a belief that empowered individuals
create empowered organizations. Over time, I’ve witnessed HR evolve from a
support function into a critical strategic partner, integral to achieving
business success. This journey has taught me that HR’s real power lies in its
ability to nurture cultures of innovation, inclusion, and resilience—where
everyone can see their role in the larger mission.”
Could you share some background on your
skills and certifications?
“My expertise spans a broad array of HR functions,
including succession planning, talent acquisition, and process automation. I’m
certified with a Green Belt in ‘Productivity in Sales’ from Motorola, am a
certified POSH Trainer, and hold a specialized certification in HR from the TA
Pai Management Institute. These qualifications, coupled with practical
experience, have allowed me to drive effective, data-backed strategies that
enhance organizational performance while creating meaningful experiences for employees.”
Could you share some of the most
outstanding awards you've received over the course of your career?
“Recognition has come through contributions that truly
made a difference-from improving talent management to driving impactful
organizational development initiatives. Being feted at almost all the
organisations I have worked for efforts that improved not only employee
retention but also alignment with business growth is, in itself, a powerful
reminder that recognition always comes through value creation and positive
change within teams and organizations.”
In the next several years, what goals do
you hope to achieve in your HR career?
“With a focus on the future, my aims are too deeply
infuse technology into HR workstream processes, simplify further, and make
things more efficient while delivering greater value in terms of
employee-centric experiences. I'm also enthusiastic about mentoring future HR
leadership leaders, teaching them essential skills and vision to drive
meaningful change. Through focusing on digital transformation and developing
the next generation of leaders, I aspire to support a world in which HR will
remain at the leading edge of change and growth.”
How do you contribute to employee
well-being? What advice would you give to aspiring HR leadership pros?
“To me, employee well-being is about creating a
culture of respect, inclusion, and support—where mental health and work-life
balance are prioritized. To aspiring HR leaders, my advice is to align closely
with business needs while at the same time being unwavering advocates for
people. Leadership in HR isn't only about policies and procedures; it's about
being that visionary who develops potential, enables resilience, and inspires
trust. I encourage embracing change, making continuous investments in learning,
and recognizing the greatest impact comes when we work to build workplaces
where people really feel valued and empowered.”
