Human Resources Manager — Seksaria Group ? Mumbai, Maharashtra

About Us The Seksaria Group is a diversified Indian enterprise with interests spanning sugar manufacturing, distillery and cogeneration, finance, and real estate. With operating units in Uttar Pradesh and a corporate presence in Mumbai, we combine the heritage of a long-established business house with the ambition of a modern, professionally run organization. Our Mumbai office serves as the strategic and corporate nerve centre of the Group.

The Role We are looking for a Human Resources Manager to lead the HR function for the Group from our Mumbai office. This is a generalist role with end-to-end ownership — from talent acquisition and employee lifecycle management to policy, compliance, and culture-building. The role reports to Group leadership and will partner closely with business heads across divisions.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable drafting an offer letter, negotiating with a search firm, running a payroll review, and sitting with leadership on organizational design. This is a hands-on role in a lean corporate team — it rewards ownership, judgment, and the ability to operate without layers of support.
