PharmEasy parent company API Holdings has appointed Shashi Tiwari as its Chief Human Resources Officer to strengthen its leadership team as the group scales its presence across India’s healthcare and diagnostics ecosystem. In the new role, he is expected to focus on deepening leadership strength, aligning people practices with business objectives, and fostering a cohesive culture across the group’s diverse healthcare businesses as it enters its next phase of growth.
Based in Mumbai, Tiwari will oversee the people and culture charter across API Holdings and its portfolio companies, including PharmEasy, Thyrocare, Ascent Health and Aknamed.
His responsibilities will span organisation design, leadership and talent development, rewards strategy and workforce transformation, as the group works to integrate and grow its businesses, reported People Matters.
Tiwari joins API Holdings after spending over a decade with Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, where he held multiple senior HR leadership roles, most recently as Senior Vice President, Human Resources.
Earlier in his career, Tiwari was associated with Infosys for nearly nine years, where he led global compensation and benefits programmes across regions including APAC, EMEA and the Americas, and played a key role in shaping global compensation frameworks and policies.
The appointment comes at a time when API Holdings is operating in a rapidly evolving digital health landscape, marked by regulatory tightening, margin pressures and heightened competition.
