Shilpa Awasthi
VP HR – Human ResourcesI am a 20-years experienced HR professional, now working as an independent HR consultant helping organizations build strong people foundations and scalable business structures. Over the years, I have worked across service and manufacturing sectors, gaining deep expertise in Recruitment, Talent Acquisition, Compensation & Benefits, Performance Management, and Leadership Development.
I am particularly well-versed and deeply networked in the Media & Entertainment, BPO, KPO, TPO, Manufacturing, Advertising, Content, OTT, Films, and Digital Marketing industries — domains that form my core expertise and professional forte. This network and industry familiarity allow me to understand business nuances, evolving skill demands, and talent dynamics across creative and fast-moving environments.
With hands-on experience in startups, greenfield projects, and growth-stage organizations, I specialize in aligning business goals with the right people and culture fit. My strength lies in understanding the business context and urgency, enabling me to close critical positions within ambitious turnaround times while ensuring long-term alignment and retention.
As a Certified Hay Group Job Evaluator and Certified Compensation & Benefits Analyst, I assist startups, M&A-driven companies, and expanding enterprises in designing Total Rewards strategies and conducting Compensation Benchmarking to ensure competitiveness and internal equity.
I am a trusted Performance Management expert, having implemented frameworks such as the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), OKRs, and KPIs. Through clear goal setting, continuous feedback, and motivational metrics, I help organizations create high-performing, accountable, and engaged teams.
My expertise also extends to Succession Planning, Talent Pipeline Development, and Leadership Coaching, helping organizations identify and groom the right talent for future leadership roles.
My professional purpose is to help businesses grow and scale through evolved people—and to help people evolve through mentoring, coaching, and capability building so they can take the next leap in their careers with confidence and clarity.
