In her work, she finds partnering with top leadership teams, and the ability to transform organizational culture through those partnerships, highly meaningful.

Helping new organizations invent their leadership culture and established ones reinvent themselves

  • In her role at Kincentric, now a Spencer Stuart company, Radhika partnered with the leading Indian global automobile giant to transform its culture from a command-and-control style to one of coaching and empowerment, and from a fragmented team to a unified one.
  • She also collaborated with the owner-promoters of one of India’s leading business conglomerates to transform its organizational identity in order to empower the best and brightest talent and develop a pipeline for next-gen leaders.
  • As one last example of her many successful projects, Radhika articulated and helped implement a compelling employer brand for a large global conglomerate. This project involved behavioral mapping of aspirational leadership traits, identifying a talent pool and creating career roadmaps for future leaders.

Radhika is a double post graduate. She holds a Masters in Economics from the Centre for Advanced Studies in Economics (CASE) at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics in Pune, India.
