About Adv. Vivek Gharat

I have spent over two decades navigating the dynamic world of Human Resources across diverse sectors like hospitality, retail, and logistics. My journey has been anything but ordinary—each role has shaped my understanding of what it means to truly engage with employees and foster an environment where everyone can thrive. Currently at Burma Burma Restaurant, I lead HR for more than team members across India. Here, I focus on everything from talent acquisition to policy development while ensuring compliance is always at the forefront.Before stepping into this vibrant restaurant scene, I had the privilege of heading HR at Yusen Logistics for a workforce exceeding 3,500. It was there that I learned how vital it is to create a culture of respect and collaboration among such a large team. One of my proudest moments was implementing an employee engagement program that increased satisfaction scores by over 30%, demonstrating how meaningful initiatives can transform workplace dynamics.My earlier experiences at JSM Corporation further solidified my belief in strategic HR leadership. Managing over 900+ employees taught me the importance of aligning human capital strategies with business goals. I’ve always believed that when employees feel valued and engaged, they become ambassadors for the brand—something I\'ve seen firsthand throughout my career.Outside of work hours, I\'m passionate about exploring new culinary delights—an interest that aligns perfectly with my current role in the restaurant industry! Whether it\'s trying out new recipes or visiting local eateries with friends and family, I find inspiration everywhere I go.If you\'re looking for someone who understands the intricacies of human capital management while bringing a personal touch to employee relations or if you want to discuss innovative HR strategies over coffee (or chai!), feel free to reach out via email!Skills- Talent Acquisition- Policy Development- Employee Engagement- Compliance Management- Employer Branding- Compensation & Benefits
