About Arun Unnikrishnan

I enjoy building things that scale - teams, systems, and ways of working.With 10+ years of experience, I operate at the intersection of people, systems, and business outcomes. I work closely with leaders across geographies to align priorities, stabilize operations, manage multi-country payroll, and build processes that scale.I am comfortable with ambiguity and naturally drawn to building structure where it’s missing. I make analytical, deliberate decisions and take ownership of the outcomes.I work as a business partner—connecting people, processes, and strategy to drive outcomes, not just activity.

Experience

1. Human Resources Business Partner

   ETG

   Dec 2023 — Present · Bengaluru, IN

   At Nutrisco, where farmers, factories, and food systems connect across 20+ countries, I help connect the people behind it. Behind every ton of cocoa processed, every cashew or peanut exported, every grain of rice milled, and every sesame seed traded lies a story of people, purpose, and partnership. As HR Business Partner, I bring the people lens to this global agri and food journey — shaping workforce strategy, talent development, and cultural integration across regions. From origin operations to emerging consumer-facing ventures, my focus is on nurturing teams that blend performance with purpose, ensuring that Nutrisco’s growth remains human, sustainable, and deeply connected to the world it nourishes.
