Axis Capital has appointed Anand Bardhan as Executive Director and Head of Human Resources, strengthening its leadership bench as the financial services firm sharpens its focus on talent and organisational capability.
Bardhan joins from Axis Bank, where he held a senior HR leadership role. He’s also held HR roles at BASF as Talent Lead for South Asia, at Korn Ferry International leading HR and solutions delivery, and at Capgemini India across talent acquisition, learning and development, and performance management.
In his new role, Bardhan will lead Axis Capital’s HR function end to end, overseeing people strategy, talent development, leadership capability and organisational effectiveness. The company said the appointment reflects its continued investment in leadership pipelines as financial services firms across India compete harder for specialised talent.
