Turning HR from a support desk into a strategic function
How Paradigm audited Presidency University's HR function across seven domains and set out a four-phase plan to redesign its structure, policies and pay for the next stage of growth.
7
HR domains audited, from governance to POSH compliance
6
Diagnostic methods, including interviews and a confidential staff survey
8
Core HR policies reviewed for compliance and best practice
1,000+
Employees the redesigned HR structure is built to support
The challenge
Rapid growth outpacing HR systems
As faculty and staff numbers grew, the University needed HR that could scale, attract talent in Bengaluru's competitive market, and comply with UGC norms and the Karnataka Private Universities Act.
Our approach
Diagnose first, then redesign
An intensive two-day on-site audit gave an evidence-based baseline; each later phase built on its findings, from structure to policy to pay.
The impact
A clear blueprint for strategic HR
Leadership received maturity scores for every domain and a practical plan to move HR to a business-partner model built for scale.
