Bhattacharya began his journey in HR with Larsen & Toubro’s ECC division, where he joined as a management trainee from campus. There, he handled the HR/ personnel functions and administration of about 4000 workers and staff at one of L&T’s sites in Indian Oil Corporation Panipat Refinery Expansion Project, Haryana. He also handled the recruitment and selection of contractual employees at site level.

Almost three and a half years later, in 2007, he moved to Voltas, in a business HR role for the electromechanical and refrigeration business group ( EM&RBG) based out of the corporate office and north regional office. After a successful tenure of over two years, Bhattacharya joined Samsung India Electronics.

During the stint with Samsung, from 2009 to 2010, in a business partner role, Bhattacharya managed the HR functions for the entire North region, that is, 12 branches, based out of New Delhi.

His next stop was Bharti Infratel, where, over a period of almost four years, he essayed multiple roles including talent acquisition manager, HRBP for corporate office, lead- shared services and circle HR head – UPW. By the time he moved on in 2014, he was senior manager- human resources (HR business partner/ circle HR head- UPW circle/talent acquisition).

September 2014 saw Bhattacharya taking up an assignment at AccorHotels India, as regional manager – HR, India region.

His next stint was with Greenlam Industries, where he joined as assistant general manager – talent acquisition and employee engagement in 2017. By 2019, he had risen to the position of deputy general manager – human resources.

Less than five years later, he found himself at Ozone Overseas.

A graduate in industrial chemistry from Delhi University, Bhattacharya completed an MBA in human resources from the University of Pune. He also went on to complete a postgraduate certificate programme in human resource management from XLRI, Jamshedpur.

Known as a proactive and result-oriented professional with talent acquisition as his forte, Bhattacharya will certainly prove to be an asset for the Okaya Power Group.
