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 digital space was equally a buzz, with over 63 million social media impressions.
“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 to eco-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.
Aditya Ghosh, Rekha Menon, Aman Gupta, Peter Hinssen, Ronnie Screwvala, and Dr. Arokiaswamy Velumani were among the high-profile global industry leaders speaking at the conference. With this year's theme, “Inspiration to Action”, the conference focused on empowering organisations with insights and tools needed to catalyse a future-ready workforce by embracing speed, sustainability and resilience.
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, HR leaders, and HR tech leaders across India, South East Asia, ANZ, and the Middle East.
