Talent & OD Strategist | Wellbeing-Led Performance Coach | Women Leadership Catalyst
The Belief That Shapes My Coaching
Performance that costs wellbeing is borrowed, not earned.
Systems shape behaviour; wellbeing sustains it.
Experience
Shweta Honagudi brings to Ebullient a rare convergence of structured HR systems design, organization development, and holistic wellbeing, a combination that allows her to work on both the architecture of an organization and the inner state of the people within it.
With two decades of experience, her corporate journey spans seven years at Reliance Infrastructure, working closely with the Group President HR, followed by leadership of talent and OD portfolios at Hathway Cable & Datacom and Aditya Birla Finance. Across these roles she moved HR from a centralized function to a Business Partner model, built behavioural competency frameworks with defined proficiency levels, designed succession planning and Performance vs Potential frameworks, and established HR academies to develop functional experts into generalists.
At Hathway, within five months of joining, she designed and implemented an entirely new KRA-based performance management system, replacing perception-based appraisals with structured criteria that introduced accountability across levels and linked individual performance to organizational goals. At Aditya Birla Finance she was certified as a Behavioural Facilitator at ABFS University within five months, and designed the in-house Leadership Development Program for the talent pool.
Since 2017, Shweta has run her own HR consulting and entrepreneurial practice, partnering with clients including Edelweiss Group, Aditya Birla Finance, Mahindra Finance, Elev8 Venture Partners, and Waaree Group on competency dictionaries, HR governance policies, eNPS surveys, CII HR Excellence applications, second-career programs for women, and Women Leadership Programs.
Alongside this practice she earned a Doctorate in Naturopathy, giving her wellbeing work a formal grounding in natural and holistic health. Her distinctive contribution is the integration of corporate wellbeing with performance: workshops built on a mind-body, holistic health framework that align employee wellness with productivity, leadership, and professional excellence. Through her YouTube and Instagram platforms, she brings this wellbeing education to a public community of over 30,000.
