The event is organised under the aegis of BCIC-SDM-IMD Centre for Management Excellence and aims to bring together leading thinkers, industry professionals and academicians to deliberate on evolving landscape of human resource management.

HR 5.0 aims to build a workplace where digital innovation supports, but does not replace human capital and where organisations flourish with a people-centric approach.
The two-day conference will host a distinguished line-up of experts from diverse domains within Human Resource Management.
The inaugural ceremony on Dec. 18 will feature addresses by Dr. Kiranpreett Kaur, Chief of People, CPM India and Rajesh Jha, Country Sustainability Manager, ABB India, who will share insights on shaping a human-centric future of work.
The valedictory on Dec. 19 will be attended by Jahangir Shaikh, Director - HRBP, Zepto, as the chief guest. The conference will also include technical sessions led by eminent speakers such as Prof. Kamal Jain, Director of FROST and Distinguished Professor at IIM Raipur and Hemlata Ramu, Senior Director - HR, Biocon Biologics.
