Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam hosted it’s first Business Conclave VRIDDHI 5.0. The two-day long

Student Activities leaders from across industries to enlighten the students and help them become ready for their future in corporate

‘HRidaya’- The Annual HR conclave is the flagship event of IIM Visakhapatnam. Since the genesis of the
institute, we have seen four successful conclusions of this event. HRidaya 4.0 was an insightful glimpse
into the new emerging facets of the realm of HR, and it witnessed invigorating participation from the
students of IIM Visakhapatnam and the corporate world. The event comprised of a keynote speech and Day 1
panel discussions, followed by Q&A sessions and competitions for students. The eminent speakers are
the leading HR experts from different industries who gather to impart knowledge on the HR domain’s
latest happenings. We had HR leaders from Tata Motors, Tata Capital, Magic bricks, Grofers, Schindler,
Scaleon, Voltas Beko, and Refinitiv. It was one full-day event with the underpinning theme, “Strategic
HRM: Align it Right”. The motive was to understand how the organizations are gearing up for the rising
gig economy and social media influence in the HR domain.
Keeping in mind the relevance of change, especially in current times, the theme for the upcoming
fifth edition of HRidaya in the year 2020 is “Change Management.” HRidaya 5.0 is going online this
year, with panel discussions and student interactions planned over two days. The event shall see
participation from some of the best HR experts from the corporate world and students from several
leading B-schools. The discussions would be focused on the new HR philosophies and the changing role
of HR with changing times and the changing nature of the future workforce.
