Jha who was also felicitated By LinkedIn at his office a few days ago for managing to gather over a lakh followers, says, “I am happily surprised to see myself on the list the third year in a row! I guess people across the world connect with a lot of what I write, and follow my thoughts.”

Another sought after thought leader, an industry stalwart and a LinkedIn Power Profile, Nathan from Deloitte, tells us what it means to be one of the Power Profiles.

Sharing his delight on being listed amongst the LinkedIn Power Profiles in HR, Srivastava from MakeMyTrip.com says, “I am pleasantly surprised to be a part of this coveted list. I am sure something went right for me — may be my regular contribution of professional information and being socially active on online and offline platforms through various media.”
“I surely also owe this to the organisations I have worked for and the opportunities given by them. Professionals not only need personal capability to deliver, but also a great set of people to work with, and progressive and empowering employers who allow professional freedom,” Yuvaraj Srivastava.
“I surely also owe this to the organisations I have worked for and the opportunities given by them. Professionals not only need personal capability to deliver, but also a great set of people to work with, and progressive and empowering employers who allow professional freedom. I believe that I have been fortunate on these accounts. While I say this, I do know that I am still a humble student of HR and learn every day through processes of reverse mentoring and peer buddy to be better in what I do,” Srivastava adds.
