Gaurav Kapoor is a workforce strategist and organizational advisor, and the Founder and Global CEO of People HR Solutions India—a global people and workforce advisory platform.
With over 15 years of experience across human resources, workforce strategy, and organizational leadership, Gaurav has operated at the intersection of people, power, and business outcomes across high-velocity sectors including IT & Digital, Telecom, BFSI, and Consumer Durables. His career spans large multinational Enterprises and transformation-led environments, providing him with a first-hand view of how people decisions are actually made at scale. Across his career, Gaurav has been directly involved in or advised on thousands of hiring, promotion, restructuring, and exit decisions across multinational Enterprises.

Unlike traditional HR narratives that emphasize policy and process, Gaurav’s perspective has been forged in the rooms where consequential decisions occur—boardroom discussions, complex hiring calibrations, promotion committees, workforce restructures, and high-stakes exit negotiations. These experiences shape his pragmatic, system-level understanding of how talent, risk, and economics intersect inside Enterprises. His work sits at the intersection of workforce economics, organizational power dynamics, and executive decision-making.

He is widely recognized for translating complex organizational mechanics into practical intelligence—enabling Decision-makers to design people systems that are commercially sound and ethically grounded, and talent to navigate their careers with strategic awareness rather than assumption.
Through People HR Solutions India, Gaurav advises Enterprises on critical domains including Hiring Architecture, Performance Systems, Culture & EX Transformation, Workforce Analytics, and Career Intelligence. His work increasingly addresses the impact of AI, data-driven decision-making, and ESG pressures on leadership, talent strategy, and the future of work.

Decoded: HR Truths reflects his core conviction: “Careers fail less often due to lack of talent—and far more often due to lack of system literacy.”

Gaurav’s work is distinguished by its focus on system literacy—helping leaders and professionals understand not just what decisions are made, but how and why they are made inside complex organizations. His thinking bridges workforce economics, behavioral risk, organizational power dynamics, and executive decision architecture.

Decoded: HR Truths reflects this approach—positioning careers not as moral journeys, but as strategic systems operating inside constrained environments. His work is increasingly referenced by senior leaders and professionals seeking clarity in an era where performance alone no longer guarantees progress. His work focuses on helping leaders and professionals operate with clarity inside systems optimized for scale, risk, and predictability—not fairness.
