More about Payal Shah

I started working in Human Resources a bit by accident :)

I started my career as a Software Developer with Smithe Technologies Pvt. Ltd., and being a member of IT department, I was involved in developing software for the healthcare industry. We (I was part of the team) developed EMR (Electronic Medical Records) for one of our clients based in US. As my career progressed, I got a chance to lead the team, and the role itself called for conversing with client and understanding his requirements, distributing the work to the team members and helping them. 

Thanks to this role, it made me realize that I was a people’s person, someone who is gregarious and enjoys being around people. Also, my verbal communication skills helped me express my ideas clearly, precisely and confidently. Things were going ahead smoothly, but accidents happen :) And yes I got married, I went on a sabbatical for 6 months to balance my personal life. After which, I thought of taking up a different job, a job that helped me identify, develop, empower and facilitate people to work at their highest level. Opportunity struck and I started working as a People Manager at Digicorp.

In the last 13 years of my career with Digicorp, as a HR Manager, I have gained experience in talent acquisition, talent development, talent assessment, organization development and culture. I am at my best when exposed to a positive, creative and a dynamic environment. And thanks to Digicorp who has helped me evolve and work at par by providing a conducive environment.
