Reimagining HR as a driver of ethical, inclusive and sustainable impact - rooted in stakeholder capitalism and the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit.
Established in 1949 by the Society of Jesus, XLRI is one of India's oldest and most respected business schools, celebrating 75 years of excellence. Guided by the Jesuit philosophy of Magis - the pursuit of excellence for the greater good - and accredited by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.
XLRI has established the Centre for HR Research and Studies to advance thought leadership in human resource management, convening industry, academia and policy to shape the future of responsible work.
HR for the Greater Good Conclave 2.0 is a national platform that brings together industry leaders, policymakers, academicians, and practitioners to reimagine HR as a driver of ethical, inclusive, and sustainable impact. Rooted in stakeholder capitalism and the triple bottom line of People, Planet, and Profit, it positions HR as a strategic partner in building responsible organizations.
The conclave features keynote addresses by CHROs and policymakers, expert sessions by AI specialists and international faculty, organizational presentations across sectors, panel discussions, and participation from trade union leaders.
Dignity, fairness and inclusion at the heart of every workplace decision and HR practice.
