Being People

Description

Being People book is dedicated to the memory of Ranjan Acharya, former Senior Corporate Vice President, of HRD at Wipro. It features Ranjan Acharya and five other HR professionals who, in a young independent India, humanized workplaces with their courage, candor, and consistent calling to ethical service. Unfolding these profiles in a life-history-like format, the author, Joseph George A, traces their antecedents and defining choices in socio-psychological frames. The other five HR professionals are George Menezes, Aroon Joshi, George Kunnath, Vivek Patwardhan, and Dr. Pallab Bandhopadhyay. Being People goes beyond unearthing the journeys these unique achievers have taken since their childhood. In the familial backdrop of Indian society, these accounts speak to the quintessential potential of common citizens who wish to make a mark on human relations at the workplace. An alternate timeline to the history of the profession in India, the book serves students, academics, and professionals with rare insights into the distinguishing characteristics of these prolific HR leaders.
