About Vikas

HR doesn't have to be cold.
HeaRt is in the name
for a reason.

"I've sat in 10,000+ interviews. I've led HR through M&As, layoffs, culture crises, and digital transformations. The uncomfortable truth? Most HR professionals are never taught how to lead. They're taught how to process."

I'm Vikas Dua — HR Head for India at The Weber Shandwick Collective, part of Omnicom. Nearly two decades across ITES, PR, hospitality, and education have given me a vantage point most don't get: I've seen what separates the HR professionals who shape organisations from those who merely serve them.

HR in my HeaRt is how I give that knowledge away. Through content, coaching, cohorts, and corporate programmes — always real, always practical, always honest.

Corporate Programmes & Consulting

If your HR team is transactional when your business needs it to be transformational, that gap costs more than you realise. I work with L&D heads and CHROs to close it — through custom workshops, bootcamps, and embedded consulting.
