Partner - Business, Organisation & Scalable Growth Transformation
With over three decades across telecom and manufacturing, Karan Bamba has led some of the most complex business and operational transformations in the country. He has managed $18.5 billion in network assets at Reliance Jio, architected profit-centre models at Siemens, driven major shifts at Nokia Siemens Networks, and helped establish NSN’s Global Service Delivery Center in India.
Karan’s strength lies in turning founder-dependent or structurally fragmented organisations into scalable, disciplined and people-ready systems. He identifies what holds an organisation back - unclear structures, weak processes, capability gaps, cultural misalignment - and partners directly with promoters and CXOs to redesign operating models that unlock performance and growth.
At Pomelo Employer Branding, Karan plays a critical role in linking business strategy to people strategy and employer brand narrative. His work ensures that the foundations behind the EVP - organisation design, leadership clarity, decision-making, capability pathways and operating discipline - are strong enough to make the employer brand believable. He strengthens the conditions that allow great experience, culture and talent outcomes to emerge.
Karan’s philosophy is simple: A credible employer brand is built on organisational truth.
By aligning strategy, operations and people, he enables companies to scale with integrity, clarity and a talent proposition grounded in reality.
