What Business Leaders Expect from the AI-Native HRBP

CEO Dialogue in conversation with Pavan Mocherla, EVP & President, Greater Asia, BD (Becton Dickinson)

Friday, June 26, 2026 at 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (IST)

The Premise


The HR business partner role isn't being redefined by HR. It's being redefined by the business.

AI, transformation, and a rising bar on what "strategic" actually means are rewriting the job in real time. The HRBPs who thrive aren't the ones who execute faster — they're the ones who understand the business deeply enough to shape it.

So we're putting that question to a business leader. Not an HR voice the view from the other side of the table.

Participating Leaders


Pavan Mocherla leads one of the world's foremost medical technology companies across the region, as Executive Vice President & President, Greater Asia at BD (Becton Dickinson). He has spent his career building and scaling businesses — and partnering closely with HR to do it. He brings the candour and clarity of someone who has seen, firsthand, what separates HR that supports a business from HR that helps drive it.

Pavan joins a line of leaders who've spoken to our community, including Shiv Shivakumar, Dr. Santrupt Misra, and Manoj Kohli.

What We'll Explore


A guided conversation followed by your questions. We'll get into:

What truly separates an HRBP who's earned a seat at the table from one still seen as a support function

How AI is reshaping the HRBP role and what HR should be doing now that most of it isn't yet

What it genuinely means to "understand the business" and what the strongest partners do that others miss

How HRBPs earn trust and influence with senior leaders, and what erodes that credibility fastest

What to lean into and what to let go of to grow into a strategic, business-shaping role

Who Should Join

HR Business Partners

HR business partners and HR leaders ready to move from execution to strategy

HR leaders

Professionals exploring the Strategic HR Business Partner Program

Future Leaders

Senior HR, CHROs, and People leaders shaping the next generation of their teams

About The Strategic HR Business Partner Program
