In this episode of the Vantage HR Influencers Podcast, Ujjal Sengupta, Deputy General Manager, Human Resources at Jio, shares practical insights on how gamified learning can drive productivity and performance across large, complex workforces. The conversation explores how organizations can leverage game mechanics, behavioral design, and data-driven feedback systems to increase participation in learning initiatives, accelerate skill development, and create a culture of continuous improvement at scale.

Leadership conversations often feel a bit binary. We're usually told leaders are either introverts or extroverts. But in real workplaces, most leaders sit somewhere in between, constantly adjusting how they show up based on the situation and the people in front of them.

That's the space we're exploring today, ambivert leadership, and what it looks like when that balance is used intentionally. And to talk through this with me, I'm joined by Srividya Venkataramanan, Vice President – HR at FSS.

We often hear organizations say they're investing more in people, better pay, broader benefits, and more perks on paper. Yet burnout and disengagement are still everywhere. Somewhere between what's offered and how employees actually feel, something isn't landing. That's where I want to start today, by exploring what's missing and what needs to change for total rewards to truly support well-being.

To help us explore this, Meera Mohandas, India Head of Rewards at Wipro, joins me. She's someone who works closely with rewards in practice, so I am very sure that her perspective will bring a very real, on-the-ground view.
