About This Product

Make the move from HR to HR Business Partner

The path from HR professional to HR Business Partner is not a mystery. From HR to HRBP is a practical, India-focused guide to how the role actually works: how business leaders think, what they expect from their HRBP, and how to earn your place at the table.

It is written for HR professionals moving into an HRBP role, generalists who want to work closer to the business, and HRBPs who want to sharpen their practice.

What’s inside the book

The Four Rooms framework: the book’s core model for reading any people situation in the Operations, Leadership, People and Political “rooms”.
Business acumen: reading a P&L, organisation design, stakeholder management, HR data and analytics, and workforce planning.
Core HRBP work: talent acquisition, performance management (GROW and SBI), engagement, L&D, employee relations and compensation.
India-specific law: the four Labour Codes, statutory compliance (PF, ESI, gratuity) and policies, updated for the Labour Codes, Central Rules 2026 and Income-tax Act 2025.
Growing as an HRBP: your first 90 days, future skills (AI, people analytics, OD), building your brand, executive influence and the political reality of the role.
Advanced practice: succession, workforce transformation, global HRBP practice, coaching, start-up HR and DEI.
Six high-complexity situations and three cases with imperfect outcomes, and what each one teaches.
Interview preparation: 51 questions, worked STAR answers, case studies and résumé samples.
Appendices: 18 ready-to-use templates (A1–A18) and an advanced reference section.

Free Practice Kit: 16 ready-to-use files

Reading is not enough, so the book comes with a practice kit. The book’s “Practice with the kit” boxes tell you which file to open. The book’s worked examples are already filled in, so you can check your work and then use your own data.
