Kaloya has built her career across global organisations and consulting environments, working on areas including organisation design, talent strategy, performance management, employee engagement and workforce planning.

Before joining MetLife Global Capability Centers, she spent approximately seven years with HSBC, where she led HR for its Global Service Centers India as well as Group Functions GSC HTCs.

Her experience at HSBC gave her exposure to large-scale global operations and complex workforce environments, with HR responsibilities closely aligned with business and organisational priorities.

Experience across EY, Aon and WNS

Earlier in her career, Kaloya held roles with EY, Aon and WNS Global Services, building expertise across both strategic and operational aspects of human resources.

Her professional experience includes work across:

• HR consulting

This combination of corporate HR and consulting experience has enabled her to work across different organisational models and workforce challenges.

GCCs increasingly placing people strategy at the centre

Kaloya’s appointment comes at a time when global capability centres are becoming increasingly important to multinational organisations.

India’s GCC ecosystem has moved beyond traditional shared services, with many centres now supporting technology, analytics, digital transformation, research and development, finance, operations and strategic business functions.

As these centres grow in scale and complexity, HR leaders are increasingly responsible for building specialised talent pools, strengthening leadership pipelines and creating employee experiences that support long-term workforce retention.

The role of the CHRO within a GCC is therefore evolving from traditional HR administration towards broader workforce transformation and business partnership.

Focus on talent and organisational capability

Kaloya’s background across talent, organisation design and people analytics aligns closely with the workforce requirements of modern GCCs.

As organisations compete for specialised technology and business talent, HR teams are increasingly using workforce data and analytics to understand hiring requirements, employee engagement, productivity and retention.

Key priorities for HR leadership in such environments include:

Building specialised talent: Developing and retaining talent across technology, analytics, operations and corporate functions.

Workforce planning: Aligning talent requirements with changing business priorities and future capability needs.

Leadership development: Creating stronger leadership pipelines for increasingly complex global roles.

Employee experience: Building workplace environments that support engagement, inclusion and long-term retention.

Data-driven HR: Using people analytics to improve workforce decisions and organisational effectiveness.

Strengthening MetLife’s people leadership

Kaloya’s appointment is expected to strengthen the people function at MetLife Global Capability Centers as the organisation continues to build capabilities supporting MetLife’s global operations.

Her experience across large global service organisations and consulting firms provides exposure to both enterprise-scale HR management and transformation-led people initiatives.

She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management from the Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad, along with a Master’s in Human Resource Management from Annamalai University.

With more than two decades of experience across HR and workforce transformation, Kaloya’s move to the CHRO role marks another significant leadership appointment within India’s expanding GCC ecosystem.

Her mandate comes at a time when people strategy, specialised talent and organisational agility are becoming increasingly critical to the success of global capability centres.
