Pre-Event Press Release

HRM Business Conclave – Kshitij

August 11, 2019

Xavier School of Human Resource Management (XAHR) will be hosting its annual HR conclave, Kshitij'19, on August 11^th, 2019. This conclave is a national level flagship event of XIMAHR – The HR Association of XAHR which brings eminent leaders from the field of HR/IR to talk about emerging and relevant HR themes. The theme for the event this year is "Future of work – Rethinking work, Workforce, and Workplace".

With organizations moving towards more machine powered and data-driven jobs than in the past, the real question that arises is, what is the future of work? The growing adoption of Artificial Intelligence and the expansion of the workforce are two substantial forces moulding the future of work. These forces of change are affecting the three major dimensions of work: Work (the what), Workforce (the who), and Workplace (the where). Moving ahead, there are many complex questions faced by policymakers and business leaders, ranging from ethics to human-machine collaboration which are yet to be answered.

The event will be graced by four eminent speakers who will be addressing the above-mentioned theme and will impart their knowledge to the students. The speakers include Mr. Ayaskant Sarangi (Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Wipro Limited), Mr. Kapil Mahajan (Head HR, Tata Advanced Systems Limited), Ms. Niharika Mohanty (Associate Vice President, Employee Branding, Zomato) and Mr. Apoorv Chaturvedi (Head Learning and Development, MagicBricks).

XUB believes in offering a platform for quality discussions on emerging issues and trends. The university organizes a plethora of superlative conclaves to ameliorate the students' learning experience. Kshitij is one such business conclave aimed at providing an enriching interactive session with respect to emerging trends in HR.
