Vedant Fashions is a listed company and India’s leading celebration wear brand. After years of strong growth, the company has experienced revenue stagnation over the past two years. A pervasive complacency has set in: leaders across functions believe they’re performing well while business results say otherwise. The HR function has historically lacked the credibility and business acumen to challenge this narrative.
This is primarily an accountability and gap-identification role. The Head HR / CHRO’s job is to be the organization’s honest mirror — consistently surfacing where performance is falling short, reporting gaps to the MD, and keeping the drumbeat of improvement going even when people get comfortable again.
The good news: the senior leadership team (including long-tenured functional heads) is broadly willing to change. They don’t need to be dragged into transformation. What they need is someone with the passion and common sense to keep identifying gaps, keep reporting them, keep pushing for follow-through, and not let things slide back into comfortable complacency.




Additionally, the Head HR / CHRO must have the capability to transform specific departments — particularly design and merchandising — from an HR/talent perspective: assessing capability, identifying gaps, restructuring roles if needed, and bringing in the right people.
What Success Looks Like at 12 Months
Performance reality is shared, not hidden: The organization has moved from ‘everyone rates themselves 8/10’ to honest, data-backed performance assessment. Leaders can articulate where their functions are solid and where they’re falling short — because the Head HR / CHRO has built the mechanisms and habits that make this normal.
Design and merchandising are on an upgrade path: The Head HR/ CHRO has assessed the talent in these critical departments, identified specific capability gaps, and begun filling them — whether through hiring, restructuring, or development.
The MD has a trusted people advisor
