She didn’t ask for the seat. She built the table.
This International Women’s Day, ValueMatrix.tv presents #SheDidntAskForTheSeat – spotlighting women redefining HR leadership.
Episode 1 features Anita Sidhwani, People Function – Head HR | Operations | Legal & Compliance at Cleo, in conversation with host Vandana Nayar.
With 19 years across banking, media, consulting, and tech, Anita doesn’t do safe answers.
She dismantles the gut interview myth – the moment you’re “floored” by a candidate who disappears six months in. She talks about why Gen Z isn’t a problem to manage but a signal to decode. And she makes the case that integrity is the one thing you simply cannot train for.
Then comes the mic-drop: “AI is not unbiased. What is fed is what comes out.” In a world racing to automate hiring, that’s a statement worth sitting with.
This is a conversation about AI in HR, talent transformation, and the future skills that no algorithm will ever replace – empathy, trust, and the ability to truly see people.
Next Episode drops soon. Stay tuned.
