ABOUT

But India's trillion-dollar dream is constantly mired in a myriad of challenges faced by small and medium businesses, from economic uncertainty and shifting market conditions to funding vows and finding, engaging, and retaining top talent.

Even as the next generation enterprises adapt to dynamic shifts and become digital to remain competitive, business leaders need to understand the growing role of human resources technology (HRTech) in revolutionising the way businesses manage their workforce and drive organisational success.
