Paromita Bannerjee

Paromita Bannerjee, an alumna of IIM Bangalore, writes to explain what helps people truly thrive—in love, at work and within themselves. A strategist and storyteller, she explores the delicate intersections of relationships, resilience and leadership through a deeply human lens. Her work is rooted in a profound curiosity about human behaviour and a belief that when people feel seen, they connect better, perform better, and lead better. In Hitched or Ditched, she examines how personal relationships shape emotional balance and influence our ability to bloom professionally and in life. 

An award-winning HR strategist and consultant with over two decades of global experience across India, Singapore, the UK and Dubai, Paromita has led initiatives in organizational culture, diversity and belonging. She blends sharp business insight with emotional intelligence to help organizations foster cultures based on trust, purpose and psychological safety. Her book POWERS explores the intrinsic motivations that drive women to excel in STEM despite systemic barriers. A LinkedIn Top Voice, her insights have reached over a million readers worldwide. Her columns in lifestyle and leadership publications focus on gender diversity, emotional well-being and relational intelligence. She is a Miss India International finalist, certified in psychology from Yale University, a poet and a passionate animal lover. 

At the heart of her work lies a simple yet powerful mission—to make leadership more humane by bringing intellect and intuition together and balancing structure with soul. She wants to help create a world where work and life fit together in harmony, not conflict.
