Sanjoli Ganotra

I’m a Senior HR Business Partner with 5+ years building people functions from scratch across 700+ employees in engineering-heavy, multinational organisations. I bring the rare mix of Computer Science + MBA fluency, so I can turn HR strategy into systems, metrics, and real workflow impact.

At Bharti Airtel, I owned CXO/VP advisory and built an OKR-aligned performance management HRIS from scratch—cutting manual HR effort by 40%, improving reporting accuracy by 30%, and driving 25% improvement in performance differentiation. I also led end-to-end talent acquisition, onboarding, and offboarding—reducing time-to-productivity by 40%, cutting early attrition by 15%, and converting 40% of high-potential contractor roles to permanent within a 200+ contingent workforce programme.

My approach is hands-on, data-driven, and people-first: I designed HR strategy, org design, workforce planning, succession planning, and DEI frameworks from scratch (20% operational efficiency lift), led transformation for 500+ employees with 80% adoption (productivity +25%, inefficiencies -30%), and improved retention by 15% through competency frameworks and coaching. I’m also applying Generative AI to HR—building a live AI-powered HR chatbot and staying current with Personio, BetrVG, and German employment law as I transition deeper into the Germany HR market.
