Aanchal Arora, GPHR®, SHRM-SCP™

Founder & Chief Consultant

I've spent my career in the world of HR, working with startups, mid-sized companies, and global corporations. I'm passionate about driving transformative change and fostering organizational excellence.

I hold the GPHR and SHRM-SCP certifications. I have recently completed the CHRO Program from the Wharton School along with a few other certifications.
I founded HR Ally in 2020 with a mission to help every business pivot on their people practices. With SMBs as my focus areas, I help businesses become 'great places to work'.
Over the years, I've worked across all facets of HR in organizational effectiveness, M&A, employee relations, talent management, talent acquisition, leadership development, and culture building.

I've had the privilege of leading HR functions for global teams of over 6000 employees, with a strong focus on building inclusive and high-performing cultures.
I firmly believe in the strategic importance of People and Talent Management in driving a company's success.

I'm always open to connecting with fellow executives, senior leaders, and professionals who share a passion for excellence and strategic leadership. Let's explore potential collaborations and share insights on our journey to achieve both organizational and personal success. Feel free to reach out; I'd love to connect!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
