Harshita Kalra
HR Manager and Organizational Psychologist
Hello! I’m Harshita, a people-first professional with a strong belief that great workplaces are built on empathy, ethics, and emotional intelligence. With a foundation in Applied Psychology and over five years of rich experience in Human Resources, I’m driven to create inclusive, engaging, and growth-oriented environments where individuals don’t just work, they truly thrive.
My HR journey is rooted in a deep understanding of human behavior and a vision for building organizations that are not only compassionate but also culturally intelligent and future-focused. I’m passionate about creating workplaces where well-being, inclusion, and authenticity aren’t just ideals, they’re embedded in every policy and practice. I believe people thrive when they feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. Whether it’s championing inclusive strategies or cultivating emotional intelligence, my focus is on shaping environments that empower individuals to grow, contribute, and lead with confidence.
My goal? To ensure that the voices, values, and potential of today’s and tomorrow’s workforce are not just acknowledged, but celebrated. I’m here to share insights, spark meaningful change, and help shape workplaces that are not only successful, but also human.
Let’s reimagine work as a place where growth is personal, potential is limitless, and people always come first.
Vikramjeet Singh
Psychology Intern
Hi, my name is Vikram, I am a psychology intern at IIPT, I am currently doing my bachelors in psychology and journalism, I am happy to work here at IIPT.
As a long term goal I hope to become a psychology professor and create awareness about mental health and also help reduce the taboo around it. I also want to become a counselling psychologist, this dual path allows me to work on both theory as well as practical aspects.
Outside my career path, I enjoy listening to music, it helps to put my mind at ease while I work, I also love playing chess time to time as it pushes me to think several steps ahead.
I’ve always been someone who really enjoys talking to people, not just for conversation’s sake but to understand what really drives someone to think the way they do. I believe this is my way of truly connecting with people hence i have gotten into this stream.
