Apply to Join
Serious advisors only. That is deliberate.
Dr.CHRO is designed for former and current CHROs, senior HR leaders, and operators with real executive-level people judgment. If that describes you, start with a structured application below.
Advisor application
Send us your background.
This form is for experienced CHROs and senior HR leaders who believe they fit the quality bar and want to be considered for the Dr.CHRO panel.
Who we are looking for
CHRO-level seniority
You have held a chief HR officer, VP HR, or equivalent role, or currently operate at comparable scope.
Minimum 12 years in HR
Deep practical experience across employment law, talent, performance, culture, compensation, and organisational design.
Indian market context
Direct familiarity with Indian companies, Indian employment realities, and the operating context of SMEs and growth-stage businesses.
Board or C-suite exposure
Experience where people decisions and business risk genuinely intersect, not just functional HR administration.
How we select
We would rather say no than dilute the panel
Selectivity is load-bearing for this model. It protects quality for companies and preserves the value of the network for advisors.
Every application gets a personal review
No algorithmic scoring. We review applications like the work matters, because it does.
We are not optimising for panel volume
The goal is not to fill a directory. The goal is to maintain a small, credible network of serious operators.
Not sure whether you are the right fit? Read the For CHROs page first. It explains the type of work, the operating model, and why we are intentionally selective.
