Vikas Vats

Vikas Vats is India’s most multidimensional leadership development expert and executive coach — an Organizational Psychologist by education, HR Expert by profession, and Explorer by soul. In 1999, while most corporate trainers were delivering generic soft skills programs, Vikas was developing India’s first Psychometric Software — a tool adopted by Maruti, NTPC, and over 300 organizations to transform how India hires and develops people.

Since then, he has built India’s largest HR community — HR Association India — with over 80,000 members across the country. He has founded the World HR Federation, bringing together HR bodies from 28 countries.

He has launched the HR Distinction Awards, recognizing innovation at organizations including HDFC Bank, Infosys, Marriott, L&T, and JSW Steel. Across 25 years and over 2,000 workshops, Vikas has trained more than 300,000 professionals — from frontline managers to CEOs, from family business owners to the leaders of India’s largest corporations.

But what truly sets Vikas apart is his conviction that the most powerful leadership frameworks in the world were written not in Harvard Business Review, but in the Bhagavad Gita — 5,000 years ago. His integration of ancient Vedic wisdom with modern organizational psychology and NLP has created a coaching and training methodology that no competitor in India can replicate.
