santosh ramnath rao — CEO
🏀 About Me, HR with a Game Plan! Just like on the basketball court, I thrive on reading the play, spotting opportunities and taking mindful decisions. My bio, often unexpected, but always unmistakably me. 💪 From legacy giants to fast-breaking startups across Mortgage, Fintech, ITES and the Internet space, my journey’s been full-court, giving me a front-row seat to diverse business models and how HR can drive them forward with precision and heart. At group level, I work closely with the CXOs of Snapdeal, Unicommerce, Shipway, and Stellaro Brands, calling plays on strategy execution and culture-building. We're also in huddle mode with the Founders of Titan Capital, laying down a future-forward HR playbook..right from tip-off. As a team, we’ve cracked the code: HR isn’t just about rules and routines. It’s about reading the floor, having a sharp commercial game sense, and making moves that impact the scoreboard. For me, playing by the rulebook matters but playing with spirit and putting our people at the center is what truly wins the game! Most importantly, we do not outsource culture to chance!
