BCH Electric Ltd has appointed Amit Sharma as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), marking a significant step in his more than 19-year career in human resources leadership. In his new role, Sharma will be responsible for driving the company’s people strategy while supporting workforce planning, employee relations, organisational effectiveness and talent development.
As CHRO, Sharma will also play a role in supporting BCH Electric’s organisational transformation and culture-building initiatives. His mandate will involve aligning people-focused priorities with the organisation’s broader business requirements while strengthening capabilities across the workforce.
BCH Electric is an electrical equipment company with operations spanning the low-voltage electrical products and solutions space. The company has an established presence in India, with its activities supported by teams across its operations and locations.
Sharma brings more than 19 years of experience in human resources to the position. Over the course of his career, he has held senior HR leadership responsibilities across organisations including International Tractors Limited, Escorts Limited, Accenture Management Consulting and Bharti Retail Limited (Easyday).
His professional experience covers several key areas of human resources management. These include business partnering, talent acquisition and management, performance management, change management, HR digitalisation, learning and development, employee engagement and strategic workforce planning.
This breadth of experience is expected to support Sharma in managing the people-related priorities associated with BCH Electric’s organisational growth and transformation. His responsibilities will extend beyond traditional HR operations, with a focus on workforce capabilities, employee engagement and building an organisational culture that supports business objectives.
Workforce planning will form an important part of his responsibilities as the company works to ensure that its talent requirements remain aligned with its organisational priorities. His experience in talent management and acquisition will also be relevant to strengthening the company’s ability to attract, develop and retain employees across different functions.
Sharma’s background in change management and HR digitalisation adds another dimension to his new role. As organisations increasingly adopt technology across business and people processes, HR functions are also evolving to use digital tools for workforce management, employee engagement and decision-making. His experience across these areas positions him to contribute to such initiatives at BCH Electric.
His responsibilities will also include supporting organisational effectiveness, an area that focuses on ensuring people, processes and organisational structures work effectively toward business goals. Alongside this, his experience in learning and development and performance management is expected to contribute to employee capability-building and professional growth.
Employee relations will also be part of Sharma’s mandate. Maintaining effective employee engagement and workplace relationships is an important component of HR leadership, particularly as organisations seek to build a strong and consistent culture across their workforce.
The appointment adds a senior HR leadership layer to BCH Electric as the company continues to focus on organisational development and transformation. Sharma’s experience across multiple sectors and HR functions gives him exposure to different workforce environments and business requirements.
With his appointment as CHRO, Sharma will now focus on bringing together people strategy, workforce planning, talent development, employee relations and organisational effectiveness as part of BCH Electric’s broader transformation and culture-building journey.
His career across International Tractors Limited, Escorts Limited, Accenture Management Consulting and Bharti Retail Limited has provided experience across a wide range of HR functions. At BCH Electric, this experience will be applied to the company’s people agenda as Sharma takes responsibility for strengthening human resources initiatives and supporting the organisation’s future workforce needs.
The appointment therefore represents a new phase in Sharma’s HR leadership journey, with his new mandate centred on people strategy, organisational capability and culture at BCH Electric
