The program blends core HR knowledge with real-world exposure to help students understand how to manage talent, build culture, and drive business impact through people.
Designed with inputs from senior HR leaders and industry experts, the curriculum covers essential areas like talent acquisition, learning & development, organization design, HR analytics, and digital HR.
Students also benefit from live projects, industry mentoring, and leadership coaching that help them grow into HR professionals who are self-aware, responsible, and ready to lead change in today’s dynamic workplaces.
SOIL’s PGPM-HR program is founded on a strong legacy of leadership in the HR domain. Spearheaded by Mr. Anil Sachdev, one of India’s most influential HR voices, SOIL’s HR journey began with the establishment of Grow Talent Company, India’s largest HR consulting firm in the early 2000s.
This legacy isn’t just history, it’s the backbone of our curriculum, mentorship, and industry engagement, aimed at developing values-driven HR leaders for tomorrow.
