How to Succeed as an HR Business Partner in 2026

Office Hour Live on Feb 12, 2026 at 3:00 - 4:00 PM (IST)

Participating Leaders


Office Hours are live, moderated conversations held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month, hosted by Ankur Sethi, where senior leaders share candid perspectives on real leadership and people challenges — beyond theory and templates.

In this inaugural session, we will be in conversation with three senior leaders who will share what they actually expect from HR Business Partners in 2026, and how HRBPs can stay relevant, credible, and influential.

Why this matters


The world of work is transforming, AI is reshaping jobs, employees are redefining purpose, and leaders are expected to deliver business impact through people. Traditional learning isn’t enough anymore. You need a space that connects experience with experimentation, where practitioners learn from practitioners, and leaders learn from each other.
