I am Geeta Varma.

I am a seasoned Human Resources leader with expertise in all areas of HR, having worked with some top MNCs in India. I consider myself a keen student who believes in up-skilling and reskilling my abilities and skills to remain aligned with the present times.  I have worked under high-quality standard work processes and have contributed towards improving them further, while being associated with corporates ranging from an engineering manufacturing unit (when there was hardly any presence of women in HR/IR) to foreign banks, management consultants, and many others.  During my various assignments, I was well known and respected for my objective professional conduct, timely completion of multiple tasks, and constantly reviewing and suggesting procedures for work improvements. I was considered a ‘go-to-person’ in HR for employee counselling to bring about a change in the attitude of the individual. During my professional career I have contributed towards improving and encouraging my teams to go in for higher education and gaining larger responsibilities.  I have shown tremendous ability to perform under pressure and have developed an ability to do tasks of multiple persons without support.

I am a co-founder of Zetta Women Company, which essentially employs women in various sectors, across levels. This is a new venture where women – especially single, separated or divorced women – are encouraged to be financially independent and support themselves economically.  In recent times, Zetta Women is also providing counselling to emotionally distressed persons due to various personal or professional reasons and also due to the unforeseen pandemic that has displaced so many families, encouraging employment under diversity & inclusion in the corporate.

A few of my achievements, while engaged in various companies are, creations of quality circles in record time, an integral member to JQI management committee, and a vital role played in pushing JQI philosophy in the organisation, setting up of the HR Department from nothing to an intrinsic and important part of the organisation, proactively providing key inputs to core management for HR improvements in various areas such as PMS, recruitment process, HR policy and procedures, creating training capsules single-handedly, drafting of POSH policy at workplace and being an essential external member of POSH committee to few corporate in Mumbai, Pune, acting as an effective mentor, coach and counsellor to my team members and other colleagues.

I remain a humble professional and strive to continue the journey to learn newer skills.  I am passionate about being a part of the changing landscape of HR as well as furthering the cause of women empowerment in today’s challenging times.

I am an HR Fellow certified in various verticals under HR, such as Competency Developer, OD Analyst, Assessment Centre Analyst, Instructional Design & Psychometric Analyst, to name a few.  I am a certified Illness-to-Wellness student from ASSOCHAM, certified design thinker, certified mindfulness coach.  My scholarly journey continues as a student of law of gratitude and law of appreciation.

I am an eternal optimist with a burning desire to motivate and help people.  I strive to inspire people who connect with me, no matter which area or work they belong to.  I continue to be actively engaged in HR, training and in coaching people. I am currently associated very closely with an HR consultancy in an independent capacity. I am known as a highly ethical professional and a genuine person for people in need.  Being a certified coach and emotional intelligence specialist added with a rich experience, I am well-equipped to provide the guided support to people who need assistance in transforming their lives.

I am a co-author of the book “Fix it like a pro”.  In my personal capacity, I have helped a lot of people to understand and reinvent themselves better for a more successful professional and personal life. To me this is my biggest achievement of life, to be taken as an enabler to success by the people to whom I have aided.

I have varied interests and have explored knowledge in gems and crystals, Vedic Vaastu, colour therapy and more.  I am a voracious reader and a new writer on the block.

Connect with me if you want to have HR assignments, training and facilitation in behavioural skills handled independently. If you want assistance under POSH act, and if you want a coach to lead you to a better life.
