Lufthansa Systems India has brought Ranjan Saxena on board as its Head of Human Resources, reinforcing the company’s people leadership as it continues to expand its aviation technology operations in the country.
Saxena will lead the India HR function, focusing on talent strategy, workforce planning, leadership development, and employee experience. He shared the update on LinkedIn, expressing enthusiasm about working with teams across the organisation to build strong relationships and enable long-term growth.
Before this move, Saxena was part of EY’s People Consulting practice, where he partnered with large global capability centres to design talent frameworks that supported business scale and operational maturity. His role involved helping Fortune 100 organisations align people strategy with evolving business needs.
Before EY, he headed HR at ANSR, supporting multinational firms in establishing and running GCCs in India, while also driving internal HR priorities. His earlier stints include leadership assignments at AtkinsRéalis and American Tower, where he handled HR transformation, business partnering, and regional people operations.
Across nearly 15 years in HR, Saxena has built experience across India, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific, covering domains such as hiring strategy, learning and development, performance management, HR analytics, and large workforce transitions.
Thanking colleagues who supported his transition, Saxena said the relationships and learnings from his previous role would continue to shape his leadership journey.
Lufthansa Systems India is a key part of the Lufthansa Group’s global technology delivery network, providing digital and operational IT solutions to airline customers worldwide. With aviation technology firms increasingly competing for specialised digital skills, people leadership has become a strategic priority.
In his new role, Saxena is expected to strengthen talent pipelines, nurture organisational culture, and support Lufthansa Systems India’s growth ambitions, reflecting the company’s continued investment in building future-ready people capabilities.
