In 2024, India’s rapid economic growth and technological advancements are revolutionizing the HR industry. With businesses embracing digitalization and hybrid work models, HR has become critical in driving innovation and aligning workplace cultures. Over 80% of CEOs now prioritize talent acquisition and retention as essential for success.
Rajesh Bharatiya, founder and CEO of Peoplefy, is at the forefront of this transformation. An IIT Kharagpur alumnus (BTech, 1996), Rajesh began his career in the IT industry, developing software for HR solutions. His extensive experience in human resources and global HR tech roles inspired him to establish Peoplefy in 2011, aiming to address India’s evolving talent needs.
Rajesh’s time with Peopleclick Authoria in the United States, where he managed large-scale, multi-country implementations of talent management systems, highlighted the strategic value of recruitment. Motivated by these insights, he returned to India to build a company that integrates technology and expertise to bridge the talent gap.
Based in Pune, Peoplefy specializes in executive search, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), and HR outsourcing across industries like IT, engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and KPO/BPO. Its proprietary cloud-based technology platform streamlines recruitment, ensuring efficient and precise hiring. This innovative approach has earned Peoplefy numerous accolades as a leader in talent acquisition.
Rajesh emphasizes building a growth-focused, people-first culture. “The most rewarding part of leading Peoplefy has been watching our team grow into industry leaders. Their success drives the success of Peoplefy,” he says. His vision centers on transforming hiring practices through technology, innovation, and unconventional talent-sourcing strategies.
A strong advocate for HR’s strategic role in business success, Rajesh believes HR must be viewed as a critical partner. “Acquiring and retaining quality talent is on every CEO’s mind,” he notes. In the post-pandemic world, he champions hybrid work models as the ideal balance between productivity, culture, and employees’ lifestyles.
Under Rajesh Bharatiya’s leadership, Peoplefy is not just keeping pace with industry evolution—it is setting the standard. By combining innovation, strategic thinking, and a people-first approach, Peoplefy is shaping the future of HR in India.
