India Associate

Kartik is an organization consultant, facilitator and executive coach with 22 years of composite experience of working in corporates and in consulting.

While his corporate work experience covered the full range of HR leadership and related issues (including managing in a global and highly competitive context), his consulting experience has been filled with a plethora of highly challenging engagements in building human capability in several settings.

Kartik started his work career in 1987 with an automotive components conglomerate in India.  Having been exposed to HR at the factory and worldwide sales levels, he moved into a challenging factory HR role in Hindustan Unilever Limited in 1994.  In 1996, he was handpicked for a large HR leadership role in Motorola India.  He was responsible for crafting the Country Labor Strategy in Motorola, and eventually led the Global Software Group HR in India.  From 2001, Kartik joined Texas Instruments India, and in his tenure there, successfully led the company to receive the #1 rank in India's Great Places to Work Survey in 2003 and to #2 rank in the same survey in 2004, a feat that has not been paralleled by other companies.

Kartik founded Vistas Consulting in 2006.  Prior to his founding this entity, he received a Certificate in OD from NTL, USA, and qualifications / certifications in several psychometric instruments listed above. 

Kartik is trained in group dynamics, leadership and human processes through Sumedhas Academy (http://www.sumedhas.org/) in India, and is now the Convenor of the Indian Academy of OD.  He publishes regularly, and is anchoring a 12 article series titled "An Ode to OD" in the Human Capital magaxine, India.

Kartik lives in Bangalore, India, with his family.
