Ravi Rangaraju is an IIT, IIM dropout. He gave up even before taking the entrance exams! A man of few words, he
speaks only in office. He is a fitness freak as he freaks out on the word fitness.
Ravi is an Engineer turned HR Professional. He completed his Electronics & Communications Engineering degree from the reputed RV College of Engineering in Bengaluru. Though good at coding, he understood that coding was not his passion and found his true calling the domain of Human Resource Management. Hence he took a detour to pursue a Master’s Degree in HRM from Wigan & Leigh College, UK. He then pursued a Fellowship Program in Organizational HRM & OD from Asian HR Board & Carlton Advanced Management Institute, USA.
He started his career with Human Capital Consulting, a leading Executive Search firm in Bengaluru where he learnt the craft of recruitment. In 2007 he joined Reuters, now called Thomson Reuters, as HR Business Partner and has grown in his role along with the organization since.
In his 16+ years association with Thomson Reuters, Ravi has had extensive experience in partnering with and enabling global business groups to achieve their goals. He has received global recognition for strategizing and implementing big ticket, high impact HR programs aligned to business objectives and the voice of employees. In his current role, Ravi is a senior leader and is heading the HR Business Partnering function for all technology business groups in India which comprises of nearly 2500 technologists spread across multiple locations in India that report globally in a highly matrixed environment.
Ravi is a Certified Master Coach and has an Advanced Diploma in NLP Coaching and employs coaching techniques in guiding his leaders & stakeholders in his organization. He is passionate about leadership development and in helping people realize their potential through Toastmasters framework. He is a Distinguished Toastmaster and an award winning public speaker & storyteller.
He loves interacting with students, sharing knowledge, and igniting spark in young bright minds. He has been active in guest lectures in leading MBA colleges as & when his schedule permits.
During weekends you would often find him cooking up a storm in the kitchen serving up delicacies for his family. He loves watching sports more than playing them and tries his hand at pencil sketching, painting and also has a peculiar interest in thinking about questions that have no answers like “Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose?” In his pursuit of these questions, he has been a certified Handwriting Analyst for over 20 years and uses this science to help people discover their strengths. He also loves spending time with his teenage daughter who teaches him more about life than any Guru or Google.
His aim in life is to be a well-rounded person, physically & otherwise.
