ABOUT

India aspires to be the startup hub of the world with over 50,000 startups and 105 unicorns. 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. HRTech enables companies to streamline recruitment processes, enhance employee engagement, and optimise talent management strategies to take the big leap and shine to their full potential.

 

The People Matters & KEKA SME HRTech Conclave for Emerging Businesses 2023 will cover:

  • Why do CEOs of today need to invest in the right tools and solutions to build future-ready organisations?
  • How can HR leaders leverage data-driven AI systems to build a culture of innovation and agility?
  • How HRTech is transforming traditional HR practices and empowering SMEs to attract, retain, and develop top talent?
  • How HRTech supports diversity and inclusion to improve business performance?
  • What are some of the best ways to enhance employees' digital experience and overcome barriers of hybrid work?
  • Benefits of cultivating an enterprise-ready mindset to help SMEs overcome challenges, seize opportunities and achieve long-term success
