As technology rapidly reshapes modern businesses, POWERGRID is stepping forward to lead the conversation on the future of work. On 25 November 2025, the power transmission giant will host its first-ever HR Tech Conference 2025 at The Leela Ambience, Gurugram — a landmark event bringing together innovation, leadership, and people-centric transformation.
Designed as a full-day forum, the conference is expected to host over 300 delegates, including senior HR leaders, PSU executives, policymakers, and corporate decision-makers. The goal: to reimagine how organisations engage talent in an era defined by digital acceleration and AI-driven decision-making.
A Theme Rooted in Transformation
The event revolves around the theme “Innovate HR; Include and Inspire People.” It reflects the rapidly expanding role of HR, which is transitioning from backend support to core strategic leadership.
Sessions will address critical questions driving the next wave of workplace evolution:
- How will HR 5.0 blend emotional intelligence with technological precision?
- What ethical boundaries must guide the use of AI in hiring, performance evaluation, and employee well-being?
- What new capabilities must leaders and employees develop to thrive amid constant change?
A Strong Foundation for the Future
POWERGRID has been strengthening its HR ecosystem through continuous engagement, leadership development programs, advanced HRMS adoption, and a strong culture of learning. Insights highlighted by SHRM India show the organisation’s commitment to building people-first systems — a foundation the HR Tech Conference aims to scale across industries.
Tech Showcase to Spotlight Cutting-Edge HR Solutions
A key highlight will be the Technology Showcase Pavilion, where top HR tech providers will demonstrate next-generation solutions. Delegates will experience:
- AI-enabled recruitment systems
- Next-gen LMS platforms
- Advanced performance analytics tools
- Digital wellness and employee experience technologies
This hands-on approach will help leaders understand how digital systems can deliver measurable organisational impact.
Leadership Insights and Inspiration
The conference will feature renowned speakers from corporate leadership, behavioural sciences, and emerging fields. Special guest Ajinkya Rahane, one of India’s most respected cricketers, will share insights on discipline, resilience, and modern leadership — qualities essential for navigating future workplaces.
Paper presentations and poster sessions will further highlight innovative HR practices across organisations.
A Commitment Beyond Technology
More than a technology-driven event, the HR Tech Conference reflects POWERGRID’s broader purpose:
to build workplaces that empower people, foster continuous learning, and strengthen employee well-being.
The day will close with a networking evening, reinforcing the idea that while technology drives progress, human connection fuels it.
A Call to Shape the Future of Work
For POWERGRID, the HR Tech Conference 2025 is more than an industry gathering — it is a call to action. As India accelerates into a digital-first future, the organisation’s initiative makes one truth clear:
the most powerful energy shaping tomorrow’s organisations isn’t electrical — it’s human.
