Gurugram, Haryana, India, September, 2024 — In a heartfelt announcement, Ester Martinez, the visionary behind People Matters, has decided to step down after 15 years of relentless leadership and contribution to the HR industry. Martinez’s remarkable journey began with a passion to not just build a company but to create a thriving community of over 500,000 HR and talent leaders. Under her leadership, People Matters has grown into a platform that has empowered, educated, and united HR professionals across the region through impactful initiatives and memorable experiences.
Reflecting on her journey, Martinez expressed gratitude to the passionate team and community that helped turn her vision into reality. A special mention was given to Pushkaraj Bidwai, a founding team member and close friend, who has continually pushed the company to greater heights.
Now, as Martinez steps back, it marks the end of an era for People Matters. Pushkaraj Bidwai will take over as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a role for which Martinez has expressed full confidence in his leadership. With Bidwai at the helm, Martinez is certain that the company’s future is brighter than ever, poised to reach new milestones.
As Martinez embarks on the next chapter of her life, her legacy at People Matters is indelible. The HR and talent community across the region wishes her the best for her future endeavors.
At HR TODAY, we are eager to congratulate Pushkaraj Bidwai on this new role and look forward to continuing our collaboration and competition within the same HR space.
