Shilpa Narayan - Managing Partner & Senior Consultant I Blue Orange Talent Solutions

Life is a battlefield, each challenge a test of strength and resilience.With over eight years of experience in Human Resources, Learning & Development, and core Operations, I stand before you, born in Bengaluru, a product of my unwavering passion for the dynamic world of Hospitality Management. My journey in this industry began humbly as a Corporate Leadership Trainee with Hyatt, specializing in the intricate art of Food & Beverage Service.The hurdles I've faced along this path have not just been mere obstacles; they have been trials of fire that have tempered my spirit and molded me into the professional I am today. The hospitality industry, with its cut-throat competition, demands more than just skill—it requires a steadfast heart, relentless determination, and unwavering perseverance. I have always believed in the power of standing up for what is right, in anchoring my decisions in logic, empathy, and rationale. Innovation and risk-taking have been my steadfast companions, propelling me forward through the storm.I have poured my heart and soul into various initiatives in my tenure in Human Resources, from spearheading Change & Quality Management to fostering Innovation & Culture, nurturing Talent Acquisition & Youth Development, shaping Talent Management & Learning, and crafting a compelling Employer Branding strategy. My efforts have been recognized through prestigious accolades such as the APEC Training Leader of the Year 2017 Award with Marriott International and the People Matters Are You in the List 2019 Emerging HR Leaders Award.My journey across the diverse landscape of Hotel Business and Operations, navigating the intricate realm of Restaurant Management, led me to embrace a pivotal role in Divisional Training. People, Talent & Development unfolded before me as my true calling. Transitioning to Hilton, I embraced the realm of Learning & Development, fueling talent and fostering a culture of excellence within the organization. I found my way back to the heart of Luxury at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu in 2017 as the Training Manager, and subsequently expanded my horizons as a Quality & Training Manager. The allure of core Human Resources Management beckoned, leading me to Courtyard by Marriott Chennai, where I now lead the People & Culture function as the Human Resources Manager, shaping the very heartbeat of the establishment.Let me impart a piece of wisdom I hold dear: never shy away from speaking your truth, from fighting for what you believe in. Lay your best on the table, demand what you are worthy of, and watch as the world opens its arms to embrace your unwavering spirit. There is no force that can halt your journey towards greatness.
