Mrs. Shweta Badarayani
Manager, HR
The only lady that is leading all the human resources, she adds the much required feminine grace to the company. She joined the Kalyani group in 2018 and is currently the manager of HR. She has a vast experience of 14 years in the field of Human Resource and Learning & Development in Indian and MNC organizations.
While she currently looks into Compensation and Benefits, Organisational Development, Performance Management Systems, Training, and Development, she has been through the entire gamut of Human Resources.
So what makes Shweta join a male-dominated mechanical engineering company you may ask. The answer might lie in her degree. She is an Engineering Graduate in Mechanical Stream and has further done her MBA in HR from Pune University. Since then, taking a cue from this unique combination of science and management, she has worked in various manufacturing setups. She has also completed her certification for professional coaching and is a member of the NRD Pune chapter.
Another reason she gels easily into a patriarchal industry is her fondness for sports which is incidentally also something that keeps her energetic and moving. What makes her rejuvenate though is a walk in nature and some music to the ear.
Growing up watching cartoons, she is inspired by Walt Disney’s quote “The Best Way To Get Started Is To Quit Talking And Begin Doing”
We are so delighted to have a breeze of fresh air among us.
