Asia’s largest HR and work tech conference, People Matters TechHR India 2024, successfully concluded its three-day conference from 1st to 3rd August at the Leela Ambience in Gurgaon. The conference proved to be a transformative platform for organisations striving to move from “Inspiration to Action”. It hosted 2630 HR and business leaders, 100 HR and work tech solution providers, and 168 global speakers, bringing the best of conversations and experiences, all under one roof. The digital space was equally a buzz, with over 63 million social media impressions.
With this year's theme, “Inspiration to Action”, the conference focused on empowering organisations with the tools and insights needed to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of work. As the HR industry grows by leaps and bounds, the event served as a rallying call, urging businesses to catalyse a future-ready workforce by embracing speed, sustainability, and resilience.
“In a world where conventional approaches fall short, there’s a need for a new vision,” said Ester Martinez CEO and Editor-in-Chief of People Matters, “A pivotal shift from ego-centric toeco-centric leadership is leading to a collaborative, purpose-driven model. The conference encouraged leaders to rethink roles and organisational structures - transitioning to a broader, ecosystem-focused approach.”
The conference unveiled an exclusive research report on the state of the HR industry - “People Matters SHRPA 2024”, which saw a participation of 1300 survey participants and 25+ in-depth interviews with CXOs and HR leaders covering India, South East Asia, ANZ, and the Middle East. According to the Study, 77% of HR leaders are change-ready and able to adapt to business and talent disruptions. Yet, 64% are set to miss out on HR transformation if it's not people-centric and tech-enabled.
