The ESG Committee organized a guest session on Industrial Relations and Collective Bargaining on 17th September 2025, delivered by Mr. Kiran Kumar Shetty, HR Manager at ITC.
Mr. Shetty explained the core concepts of industrial relations and collective bargaining in an engaging manner, drawing parallels with stories from the Mahabharata to illustrate negotiation, conflict resolution, and consensus-building. He emphasized the role of trade unions in safeguarding employee interests and promoting healthy employer–employee relations.
He also shared insights into ITC’s growth journey (2002–2023) and its manufacturing presence across India, underscoring the strong link between industrial harmony and organizational success.
The session proved to be highly insightful, as it bridged theoretical knowledge with practical applications and enriched the students’ understanding of workplace relations and collective bargaining.
