Ina Bajwa — CEO

People often ask me, "Why HR?" My answer remains the same—because people are a business driver. The HR function fuels top-line growth, bottom-line impact, and a culture where people thrive, contribute, and create a sustainable future. As a seasoned HR leader with 22 years of multi-industry experience (B&M retail, consumer technology, B2B technology, consulting, banking & core infrastructure) in companies at different stages of growth (early-stage, accelerated growth and mature) in multi-cultural environments (Global, Indian, British, American, Middle Eastern) and diverse go-to-market models (B2C, B2B, e-commerce), I specialize in aligning people strategy with business priorities, enhancing productivity, and fostering high-performance teams - making people and a winning culture - the competitive advantage for the company. My approach? A blend of discipline, flexibility, and data-driven decision-making, using technology to drive scale, always balancing business impact with employee experience. I partner as a trusted advisor to top teams while driving HR transformation across markets, anchored in a human-centric, values-driven approach. Key Highlights: ✅ End-to-End HR Leadership: Breadth of 12 years in high-impact HR Business Partnering, with a depth of 11 years in COEs (Talent, Learning , Organisation & Leadership Development, DEI), and CXO-level functional leadership in a high-growth startup. ✅ Scaling & Transformation: Led HR for Global Sales, Products, Digital and Technology teams + Learning, Talent & OD Leadership at Tata Communications, contributed to driving 2X business growth, to the company reaching a prominent industry position, securing TBEM ranking in the leader category amongst Tata Group companies ; winning multiple Brandon Hall Awards for Excellence in Learning & Talent Development for 3 years in a row. At HSBC, built the Talent, DEI agenda along with the HR Leadership & Top Team, that continues to grow strong even today. ✅ Building from the Ground-Up: Established Performance, Pay, and Talent practices at 1mg, working closely with Founders & NRC members. Built a People Strategy to enable retail expansion from 50 to 250 stores in 18 months. ✅ Driving Future Talent Strategy: At LMG, I drove executive succession, accelerating leadership readiness and mobility. I firmly believe the HR function is about unlocking the potential of teams by building inclusive cultures and aligned leadership, accelerating business, and shaping the future of work.
