She also supervised the operation across all phases of the system, troubleshooting, giving system clarifications to unit HR and also coordinating with corporate IT for making design changes.

It was in 2020 that Arora moved to Jakson Group, Noida, as group CHRO. Almost three years later, she was elevated to group chief people officer, in April 2023.

A change leader, a problem solver and an enabler of personal and professional excellence, Arora is sure to be an asset to Isgec Heavy Engineering, a diversified heavy engineering company.
