People Matters, a 360-degree knowledge and media platform celebrates 5 years of service to the Human Resources (HR) community. Through high touch-point events, digital, print, and social conversations, People Matters has brought the HR community together to co-create ideas, expertise and solutions that everyone could use. With a High-Five to the New HR, the People Matters team now looks forward to including the next generation of HR leaders, practitioners and supportive technology in their future strategy.
Says Ester Martinez, Editor-in-Chief and CEO: “The first five years have been an exhilarating journey of discovery, of learning and connecting. Supported by a committed team and the good wishes of the HR fraternity, People Matters has positioned itself as a well respected knowledge and media platform in five short years.”
People Matters events are some of the most eagerly awaited entries in the HR calendar. Covering the spectrum of HR – from Talent Acquisition through Learning and Development to Reward, individual properties attract unique HR communities. Every event delivers high-decibel and relevant conversations and deliberations in innovative and interactive formats. HR leaders themselves come forward to lead and participate, freely sharing their experiences and wisdom.
Says Dr. Santrupt Mishra, CEO, Carbon Black Business and Director, Group Human Resources of the Aditya Birla Group, “People Matters has become the voice of HR community in India in a short period of time. Its innovative architecture that combines a bouquet of offerings including traditional print, new age digital platform and interactive forums for more professional interfaces through conferences and roundtables has made it the integrator of the HR community. It has built a reputation for professional neutrality through several partnerships and has stood out for its exploration of HR issues that are contemporary and futuristic. Its young team and their enthusiasm have brought immense dynamism and energy to this unusual publication focused on the human resources field.”
In five short years, People Matters has built a portfolio of offerings to meet the wide and changing needs of the HR community. Annual events include the Talent Acquisition and L&D Leadership Leagues that are unique to these specific domains. Their Tech-HR Conference and Exhibition is known to be Asia’s largest scale HR Technology conference. An event that has seen unprecedented attendance by not only the HR community, but also CEOs, CFOs, CIOs and a range of service providers as well.
The People Matters Are You In The List Award identifies and felicitates the next generation HR leader. Judged by an erudite panel of business leaders using a rigorous and audited process, Are You In The List has often been called the ‘Oscars of HR’. Young, aspiring HR leaders compete with each other to win a much-coveted place in that pantheon.
In a message of felicitation to the People Matters team, D Shivakumar, Chairman & CEO, Pepsico India says, “Harnessing the potential of people is one of the key differentiators of consistent companies. People Matters is a wonderful brand that is dedicated to this idea. People Matters has given us a lot to think about with respect to people, policies and practices over the last five years. The world of HR and business is richer in perspective thanks to People Matters. Happy 5

A collection of articles, stories, experiences and points of view contributed by the HR community itself, every issue of the People Matters magazine – both print and online – is eagerly looked forward to by its ever-growing subscriber base. Discussing the latest insights, perspectives, challenges and opportunities, the magazine strives to become a knowledge-repository for the reference of the HR community.
"Media plays an important role for the maturity and development of an industry. The HR industry in India also needs that acceleration and People Matters has played and will continue to play a role in that process. What stands People Matters apart from the rest is their sharp focus on the domain of HR, their innovative approach in developing media products across channels and their ability to execute at global quality standards. In the coming years, People Matters has the opportunity to become the de facto reference for business leaders, HR professionals and service providers to keep up-to-date about talent trends." Suggests Sanjeev Bhikchandani, Chairman of InfoEdge (Naukri.com).
People Matters has revolutionized how to communicate with the HR community. Innovative Radio shows, Twangouts and Tweetchats marry social media and digital platforms with the traditional client-lead round tables that evenly itemize and tackle issues one at a time.
Rich Wellins, Senior Vice President, DDI, a long time client of People Matters says, “We have been working with People Matters for all of their first five years. In this short span of time, they have become the premier HR professional organization in India. They not only focus on local talent management trends, but provide insights on how India fits into the global talent management picture. With the continuing rise of India, talent will continue to be a crucial priority. No organization is better prepared to help HR and line executives with the advice and insights they will need to succeed.”
Looking beyond 2015, the team at People Matters realizes that there is still a lot to do. Their aspiration is to reach every corner of India, touching and building relationships with every business and HR leader by inspiring, provoking and enlightening them and their teams. And there are plans to spread the good work to other countries in the coming years.
Says Ester Martinez in her editorial in the Fifth anniversary issue of the People Matters magazine, “Building a team is like building a delicate ecosystem of powerful forces. Our dream is to influence every HR decision through the quality and relevance of our products and services.”
Quality and relevance will always be a top priority at People Matters as they expand their footprint and reach the hearts and minds of the HR community across geographies.
The People Matters team believes that when one desires something strong enough, the universe conspires to make it happen. Expressing gratitude to the HR domain that made them who they are today, Martinez thanks business and HR leaders who generously gave their time to share insights and knowledge: the community, readers, who kept sharing their feedback and helped raise the bar; and partners who gave them the opportunity to dream bigger. And most importantly she thanks her team. Dedicated people who have been her coach in many ways.
It’s been a journey of building a brand for a community where everybody continuously contributes. For a tomorrow that looks good for the people who lead people. People Matters gives a high-five to the new HR.
