Dr. Priti Kataria
CHRO and HR Leader with 28 years of progressive experience in the IT Industry, driving end-to-end Talent strategy for large-scale technology organisations and representing HR at the leadership and Board level.
I am also a certified coach, and that shapes how I see people as much as how I see organisations. I work with those stepping into the world of work for the first time, finding their confidence. And with women growing into leadership, helping them own the depth they have already built, and trust the judgement they have already earned.
An HR leader recognised as Forbes India Top 30 Talent Leaders, 2025, awarded as India’s Most Agile HR Leaders, 2025–26, and 50 Most Innovative HR Leaders 2025. Proud to have been a finalist for the Global WEQUAL Awards 2024 for Women Leader in Transformation.
Passionate about inclusion, and having moved across cities, working across geographies, blending with customers, cultures and location, effortlessly.
Have nurtured experience with research, completing my PhD in Organizational Behaviour and HRM, and thesis titled – Commercial Content Moderation- Exploring antecedents of Performance. The doctoral research employed an abductive, qualitative theory-building approach to study Commercial Content Moderation (CCM) within BPO-led IT/ITES environments.

The questions leaders carry quietly.
In every organisation I have worked with, the questions that matter most are rarely the ones that make it onto agendas. They are the ones leaders carry quietly.
These are not aspirational questions. They are the ones I have always believed every organisation deserves real answers to. This is what the work is for.
Start where it matters
