“HR, in order to achieve the identified Mission and Vision for the Organization, is and will forever remain an important enabler.”
Dr Ankita Singh (Senior Vice President & Global Head of HR, Cignex and Founder, HR Association of India)
How does an option become the most preferred choice? Ask Dr Ankita Singh who landed in the progressive HR industry by default but then got so inclined towards this function so deep that she started adding value to it. Dr Ankita Singh comes with over 23 years of profound experience in managing & leading various aspects of HR, heading all business-enabling functions like admin, IT, travel, and PMO with ease, “but the core is still HR and will remain,” says Dr Singh in a flash.
A true epitome of the term ‘determined’, the passion to enter the corporate world hit young Ankita at the age of only 18. When people in her generation were busy finding their true passion, Dr Singh was working 36 hours a week to gain industry knowledge. After brushing up her skills in the ever-evolving industry for a couple of years, she enrolled herself in strategic courses to contribute more meaningfully. Learning, she believes, is a continuous process. To answer her innermost call to understand the management domain, she did a PhD in management. She is also a Gold Medalist in BBA as well as MBA.
Destiny had always chosen HR for Dr Ankita; She took no time to understand that she is meant for this profession and can take it to sky heights with her proven expertise. “As I started quite early, I was open to exploring different aspects, but my default allocation always happened to be in some department of HR, and with on-the-job experience, it didn’t take long to come to the conclusion that this is where I want to exist, learn and grow,” smiles Dr Ankita.
She is currently serving as the Senior Vice President & Global Head of HR, Admin, IT and Travel at CIGNEX. She is also the Founder of the HR Association of India. Prior to joining Cignex, Dr Ankita honed her skills by working in prestigious firms like Sahara India, Convergys, Zensar, Hexaware, and DatamAnkita’s expertise includes transformational change management and M&A initiatives.
