Capgemini has promoted Tarunpreet Singh Pahwa to Senior Director of Global Strategic Deals, Talent Solutions and HR Analytics, reinforcing its human resources leadership as the company deepens its emphasis on data-driven workforce planning.
In his expanded role, Pahwa will be responsible for linking talent strategy more closely with business objectives, with a specific focus on supporting large and complex strategic deals. His responsibilities include developing workforce models for high-value client engagements and strengthening people analytics capabilities across Capgemini’s global operations.
The elevation comes at a time when professional services organisations are increasingly integrating talent planning into deal structuring and execution, using workforce data and insights to drive efficiency, scalability and delivery performance. Industry observers note that such roles underscore the growing importance of workforce intelligence in securing and executing large contracts, reported People Matters.
Pahwa brings a broad background across talent acquisition, employee engagement, people analytics and organisational effectiveness. In his earlier roles, he has led initiatives that connected workforce insights with business decision-making, helping improve planning, productivity and operational outcomes.
His experience in analytics-led HR strategy and organisational transformation positions him well to operate in large, matrix-driven environments. According to the company, the role will involve close collaboration with business and HR leaders to ensure talent frameworks remain aligned with evolving client needs and market dynamics.
The move also reflects Capgemini’s wider effort to strengthen its talent architecture as it addresses skills gaps, accelerates digital transformation and responds to changing workforce expectations across regions. Pahwa will report to Capgemini’s global HR leadership and is expected to play a key role in embedding analytics-based talent solutions into the company’s long-term growth strategy.
