About Sushil Patel
I enjoy building organisations where ambition, purpose, performance and culture reinforce each other to enable people success.As a people leader with ~11 years of experience, I have focused on scaling people functions that support sustainable business growth across both high-growth startups and established enterprises spanning diverse sectors. Currently heading People & Culture at Zupee, guiding talent strategies and organisational development in the dynamic internet/tech/product ecosystem — an area that continues to inspire me!A defining thread throughout my journey has been the opportunity to partner closely with both Tech talent (product, engineering, and data roles) and Commercial teams (marketing, finance, business development, and legal) across diverse sectors — from skill-based gaming and travel-tech to real estate, home services, FMCG and global consulting. I have worked with organisations at every stage of growth: early-stage scaling and profitability turnarounds at NestAway, business partnering, talent management & acquisition and campus-building at MakeMyTrip, enterprise stability at Godrej and Philip Morris, and now IPO readiness and regulatory transitions at Zupee. This breadth has given me a nuanced understanding of talent challenges and scenarios across the entire value chain — from talent acquisition and capability building to performance, rewards, business partnering, organisational design, and change management — enabling more holistic, business-aligned people strategies.A lifelong learning orientation and team spirit continues to guide my approach in everything I do. Outside work, I am a proud father to an amazing daughter, an avid sports person - I like playing cricket and football and a travel enthusiast!Happy to connect, share, discuss and contribute to each other\'s learning & passions!
