Pankaj Bansal is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PeopleStrong. Having observed the unorganized and non-integrated HR industry in India during his professional journey, Pankaj felt the need to create an entity that could effectively manage the complete employee life cycle, simultaneously ensuring a satisfied employee experience for its clients. At PeopleStrong, he is responsible for building strategic partnerships and managing the overall growth of the company, both in Indian and international markets.

A visionary, Pankaj is passionate about technology and truly believes that HR will take the leap into the next orbit by embracing technology. With this thought, he has led the team to develop PeopleStrong Alt, an on demand technology product that aims to simplify work life for its users.
Prior to establishing PeopleStrong in 2005, Pankaj worked with the Aricent Group, a global innovation and technology service company (erstwhile Hughes Software Systems), where he was a part of the founding team of the company’s business process outsourcing (BPO) division. He also worked with the engineering giant, SPML Infra Limited, and Housing and Urban Development Corporation. Pankaj’s stint at Withya Direct Inc., a digital media market company, as Chief Operating Officer acted as a turning point in his entrepreneurial journey.

Pankaj holds a Masters’ Degree in HR Management from University of Pune, and a Bachelors’ Degree in Entrepreneurship from Delhi University, Delhi.
