Recently we had the SHRM India Mumbai and Pune forum focusing on Social media. The kind of information shared by Mahesh Murty and Rajiv Dingra was an eye opener for anyone struggling with strategic and tactical questions on the impact of social on HR.!

My first blog post is an ode to the amazingly interactive Southern Region HR community (I don’t know if I should say Southern Region so explicitly but for want of a better description, please allow me some slack to use this reference. :) It was a great month for the SHRM India forums in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. Each session was testimony of how far HR practices have come and how far they are going to go in this vibrant emerging Indian HR context.
