    Had a clarity call with Pia, at a point when i was confused about my career direction. in just 30 minutes she helped me see my own profile with fresh eyes and realise what was holding me back. Will recommend a call with Pia for anyone who feels stuck in their career

    Very good session. Pia was able to correctly identify the specific requirements and provided appropriate solutions all the while being completely supportive in the process.

    Pia’s Mother’s Day was simple, relatable, and actually made me pause and think about a few things I’ve been putting off. What I liked most was how practical it felt—nothing preachy, just clear thoughts and small actions you can actually take. Walked away with a better sense of direction. Definitely worth attending if you’re looking to reset a bit and focus on yourself.

About me

Most professionals who come to me are not in crisis. They are performing well, being paid reasonably — and the career they actually want still feels just out of reach. That gap is exactly what I work on. I am Pia Shome. 22 years in HR. 4 years as Head HR and CHRO across Barclays, DBS Bank, RBL Bank and U GRO Capital. I led the people and cultural integration of the merger that created IDFC First Bank. INSEAD alumna. Best 40 Under 40 HR Leader in India. Founder of Wave HR & Advisory. I have sat on the hiring side of every conversation you are about to have. I know what gets people hired, promoted, and paid what they deserve — and what quietly holds them back. I work with two groups of people: Ambitious professionals — who want to make a smart career move, negotiate a number they actually deserve, or finally understand why the career they have built is not quite the one they wanted. Founders and people leaders — who are scaling teams and need a senior HR thought partner, not a consultant who delivers a deck and disappears. What I bring to every session: the unfiltered perspective of someone who has done this at the highest level — not theory, not frameworks, not generic advice. Just honest, senior-level clarity on your specific situation. 5.0 rating · INSEAD alum · Wave HR & Advisory The session that changes things is one click away.
