Dr. Ajay Brahmbhatt — Head of Talent
I lead large-scale early-career and workforce transformation initiatives across India, with 12+ years of experience at Siemens, TCS, and Aditya Expo. Across my career, I have influenced 20,000+ early-career hires across diverse industries, institutions, and workforce segments. Currently at Siemens, I drive ~2,000 annual campus hires (including internships) while contributing to global employer branding strategy as a Siemens Brand Ambassador. Previously, I led ~2,500 annual hires at TCS and ~900 at Aditya Group, building scalable, assessment-led, and inclusion-driven hiring ecosystems. My experience spans the full academic spectrum — Diploma Engineering, ITI, B.E./B.Tech, M.E./M.Tech, PhD, MBA, CA, CS, Pharma, and skilled trade programs — hiring across IITs, IIMs, NITs, IIITs, ISB, TISS, leading premium institutions, as well as tier-2/3 and rural campuses. I have recruited across both blue-collar and white-collar segments, designing frameworks that prioritize capability, potential, and diversity over pedigree. I specialize in university hiring strategy, DEI-led recruitment design, employer branding, and process excellence — improving quality-of-hire, accelerating time-to-productivity, and strengthening retention at scale. Recognitions include the Industry–Academia Award (by Nitin Gadkari), CHRO Recognition, Diversity Star Award and P&O Star Award (Siemens), and Leadership Impact Award (TCS). I build scalable talent ecosystems that translate potential into measurable enterprise impact
