Bakul Bhandari
@bakulbhandari
I build global compensation, rewards, and benefits programs across APAC, Europe, UK, and US markets.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently managing global promotions and off-cycle increases at CSG International, developing compensation guidelines and guardrails that support consistent, data-driven decisions across business units.
Previously, at EXL, Aramco Asia India, and Colt Technology Services, I led compensation benchmarking, salary structure design, annual salary reviews, benefits administration, job architecture support, and performance and rewards initiatives. I've also delivered UK Gender Pay Gap reporting, designed allowance policies for Indonesia and Singapore, and partnered with Talent Acquisition and leadership on market-aligned offers and retention initiatives.
My foundation in global compensation consulting was built at Aon Hewitt, where I managed projects for Fortune 500 clients, analyzed LTI and STI data, supported executive compensation insights, led a team of three, and improved processes for accuracy and turnaround time.
