Delivering the chairman's address, Ramadorai said, "HR should focus on understanding the new behaviors required to thrive in the new environment". He reminded the audience that "HR professional's first need to become change leaders themselves before institutionalizing this into their respective organizations".

Business leaders including S Ramadorai of TCS, A Vellayan of Murugappa Group, and Babu Lakshman of Rane Group commended the critical role played by Human Resources (HR) in the enabling the growth of Indian industry. They also urged professionals in the discipline to look beyond the traditional boundaries of the function and evolve new strategies ahead of the changing times.
