In episode 13 of CultureClub, we meet Rajesh Srivastava, Chief Human Resources Officer at Capital Foods Private Limited. Rajesh has also worked in diverse sectors like finance, insurance, cement, etc., and has experience in HR for close to twenty years.

Rajesh believes in employee empowerment and dedicates his time to mentoring young HR professionals and organizational leaders, helping them hone their skills and become better at what they do and what they want to do. That is how Ketan (Head of People Function, Rentomojo) met Rajesh and continues to be his mentee after all these years.

Rajesh fondly calls Capital Foods a 25-year-old startup owing to its innovative approach; always looking to bring new flavors to the Indian Food and Beverages industry. An employee-friendly organization, Capital Foods understands the importance of organizational culture.

In this conversation with Ketan and Senthil (Founder and CEO, CultureMonkey), Rajesh brings in an interesting point— the importance of proactive organizational culture. Rajesh explains how the proactive attitude in Capital Foods helped them deal better with the pandemic and make the most of it. This not only helped curb any kind of confusion amongst the leaders at Capital Foods but also helped the middle and junior level employees find direction during a time of crisis and recognize their duty towards the organization.

Rajesh pointed out how their organization has always been dedicated to employee engagement and this has not changed even when the pandemic hit them, all thanks to their proactive organizational culture.

This episode is a great watch for anyone willing to see the silver lining in any dark situation. Rajesh’s conversation also sheds light on important issues like discipline while working from home and how leaders expect their employees to work around the clock because of a lack of empathy.

Listen to the entire session to gain insights from Rajesh’s practical knowledge and learn more about what it means to be a professional in the current situation.
