In his new role, Nair will lead human resources for IKS Health’s Ambulatory Business Unit. He will work with the business leadership team on talent and organisational priorities while supporting the unit’s growth plans. His experience across talent acquisition, strategic hiring and HR leadership brings him back to IKS Health in a broader HR leadership role.
Nair’s return to IKS Health follows his tenure at Rubicon Research Limited, where he served as Head of Global Talent Acquisition & Retention.

His professional profile highlights more than 20 years of experience and expertise spanning strategic hiring, talent acquisition transformation, AI-powered recruiting, employer branding and HR leadership. His background has largely centred on building talent functions and supporting organisations through recruitment and workforce requirements.
At IKS Health, Nair’s focus will now shift from leading talent acquisition to overseeing the broader HR function for the Ambulatory Business Unit. The role will require him to work closely with business leadership to build talent capabilities and support organisational priorities as the unit enters its next phase of growth.
The appointment also marks a continuation of Nair’s association with IKS Health. Having previously held senior talent acquisition positions within the company, including Associate Vice President – Talent Acquisition, he now returns in a Vice President – Human Resources role with responsibility for the Ambulatory Business Unit.
Nair said he was looking forward to partnering with the business, building great talent and enabling the next phase of growth. His return brings together his earlier experience at IKS Health with his more recent work in global talent acquisition and retention at Rubicon Research.
