A strategic leadership elevation often signals more than a role transition—it reflects an organization’s commitment to shaping its future through people, culture, and capability. In this context, the appointment of Rohit Shenoy as Head of Nalanda – the Leadership, Learning & Change Team of Dalmia Bharat Group | Deputy Executive Director at Dalmia Bharat Group. This marks a decisive move toward building a future-ready leadership ecosystem.
Dalmia Bharat Group, a leading Indian conglomerate with a legacy spanning over eight decades, continues to strengthen its position across core industries while advancing its commitment to sustainable growth, innovation, and people-centric transformation. The elevation of Rohit Shenoy aligns with this vision, reinforcing leadership development as a strategic priority.
In his current role, Rohit leads Nalanda, the Group’s leadership, learning, and change function—an initiative rooted in the philosophy that learning is not merely a program but a way of being. With a clear mandate to build leaders from within, his focus is on shaping a new generation of leaders who are values-driven, future-ready, and capable of steering the organization into its next phase of growth.
Rohit brings a distinguished leadership journey shaped across globally respected organizations, most recently serving as Director HR – Global Head of Learning and Development at DXC Technology, where he led global learning transformation initiatives across a workforce spanning 70+ countries. His work centered on personalizing learning, strengthening managerial capability, and building future leadership pipelines within a complex, global enterprise environment.
Prior to this, his tenure at Sterlite Power as AVP HR (Organization and Talent Development) stands out for driving large-scale organizational transformation. He played a pivotal role in institutionalizing continuous performance management, succession planning, leadership alignment, and culture-building initiatives. His innovative “Own Your Development” framework and digital learning interventions not only achieved high engagement but also earned leadership recognition and industry visibility.
Across his career, Rohit has consistently operated at the intersection of organizational development, leadership transformation, and talent strategy, with experience spanning consulting, global HR leadership, and business partnering. His ability to translate business strategy into human capability—through leadership pipelines, learning ecosystems, and culture interventions—has been a defining theme.
In his new role, he is expected to further strengthen Nalanda as a strategic engine for leadership development—embedding learning into the organization’s cultural DNA and enabling transformation that is both human-centric and business-aligned. His vision reflects a shift from traditional learning models to deep, experiential, and culture-driven leadership development.
This appointment underscores a broader industry trend where leadership, learning, and change are no longer support functions but core drivers of business resilience and growth. As organizations navigate complexity and transformation, leaders like Rohit Shenoy play a critical role in shaping not just capability, but organizational character.
With this elevation, Dalmia Bharat Group reinforces its commitment to investing in leadership as a long-term strategic lever—setting the stage for sustained growth powered by empowered talent and purposeful leadership.
