Hi, I’m Prashant Gaddam. ​With over 15 years of diverse corporate experience spanning Financial Services, Media, and Manufacturing, I help organizations build robust people strategies and guide the next generation of HR talent. ​Today, my work focuses on two core pillars: ​Strategic HR Advisory: I serve as a Fractional HR Head and advisor to fast-growing startups, helping founders navigate organizational structuring, statutory compliance, performance management frameworks, and scalable talent strategies. ​Mentorship & Academics: I am deeply passionate about bridging the gap between textbook HR and real-world corporate dynamics. I actively mentor management students and deliver Guest Lectures for MBA HR cohorts. If you are a startup founder looking for fractional HR leadership, an MBA student seeking career direction, or a fellow professional passionate about growing as an HR leader—let’s connect!
