Mr.
Manish Kharbanda , Executive Director , HR , Jindal Steel and
Power Limited visited the IIM Raipur campus on 1st November ,
2010. His maintained his main motives behind this visit as being
the interaction with the students.
Mr. Manish Kharbanda has several years of experience in which he
has managed large teams and spearheaded overall strategic and
human resource operations. In short, he has been working in
tandem with the executives of the respective companies and the
employees. He has worked in diverse cultures and with companies
having diverse backgrounds.

position of the Chief Human Resource Officer.
Mr. Kharbanda began by highlighting his humble beginnings and
how it has helped him in achieving phenomenal success at an
early age. He also stressed that humility was necessary for a
professional to be successful. He also showcased humour by
stating that he became an HR , only by chance , as he never
studied or prepared for it. He was pushed into the job as the

at that time resigned from the job. This began his career as an
HR.

He
then described the model on which JSPL was based upon. He
explained every detail pinpointing the “sustainable development”
as a very important parameter for every company. “Sustainable
Development” is the execution of a company’s social
responsibilities which is better known as Corporate Social
Responsibility. This formed the base of a company’s success
anywhere. He stressed it’s importance from the point of view of
the Head of HR operations. This was necessary as it could
bolster the belief of the locals in a region on any company
operating in it’s lands. This would in return decrease the
amount of labour unrest , which could otherwise be prevalent
because of disparity.
After giving his point of view on the operating procedure of
JSPL , Mr. Kharbanda welcomed queries from the side of the
students. He received a whole lot of questions regarding the
difficulties of operation in different areas of the world. Most
of the employees that seek to go to a foreign land expect a
raise in salary and responsibility. Most of the companies do
offer these but still, some problems hinders along. The
different difficulties could arise due to :
● Law and order problems
● Environmental problems
● Bureaucracy problems |
