'Startups': A View
someone that is qualified to both lead the company
to the IPO and lead it af terwards as a public company.
The head of engineering or a CTO/founder, however,
may leave to build the next thing in a new venture.
Q. Given the investment and rise of startups in India,
what learnings do you think HR managers can take
from the developed markets in terms of setting up agile
policies and practices which can evolve with the
organization?
A. Radford: This is the challenge of balancing
efficiency and process in a creative environment. We
would suggest that they hold off things that feel too
corporate, try to put in structures that are not too rigid,
not hem themselves in, with HR leading these efforts.
Venture Capitalists
are doing more to
build out their human
capital capability and to
support the companies
they invest in
