Workforce Planning for Business Diversification of Energy Companies | ft. Vinay Ranjan

[Podcast intro]

If India is to achieve its net-zero target by 2070, many traditional industries, including state-owned fossil fuel companies, will need to rapidly diversify their businesses. This shift will require a significant workforce transition within these companies as they venture into new sectors and build new capabilities.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Vinay Ranjan, former Director–Human Resources at Coal India Limited, about the workforce dimensions of this transition. Drawing on his experience of leading HR in both the public and private sectors, Dr. Ranjan discusses what business diversification means for employees, approaches to reskilling and workforce planning, and how strategies for managing this transition differ across the public and private sectors.
