HR is often seen as the team that enforces rules, manages appraisals, and handles conflicts. But behind that role lies a deeply human experience — one filled with emotions, pressures, dilemmas, and invisible responsibilities.

In this episode, Neetu Gambhir sits down with Rushabh Mota — Fractional CHRO, Executive Coach, and Founder of Talent Edge Consulting — to uncover the side of HR that most people never get to see.

Rushabh has led HR transformations across FMCG, pharma, IT, retail, GCCs, and more, across regions including India, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. He brings a rare combination of strategic thinking, practical execution, and deep empathy.

• The Role Beneath the Title – what HR leaders actually carry
• The “Most Hated” Role – why HR is misunderstood
• Fairness vs. Perception – why HR is never seen as fair
• The Human Side of the Process Custodian – navigating emotion while upholding systems
• What Lies Beneath Leadership – the invisible layers behind tough decisions
• Wisdom & Vulnerability – what HR teaches us about life, not just work

This conversation is honest, raw, and deeply human — a must-watch for leaders, managers, HR professionals, and anyone who has ever interacted with HR.

Pregnancy & childbirth — what we usually know is just the tip of the iceberg.

Scans, medicines, diet plans, and moving through three trimesters… this is what most of us think about.

But what lies beneath the surface is far deeper.

In this episode of The Iceberg Theory Podcast, we dive underneath that iceberg — into the hidden journey of a child in the womb. Through the lens of Garbh Sanskar, we explore how life begins even before birth, and how parents’ emotions, intentions, and energies profoundly shape their child.

You’ll discover:

• Why the “pause” can be the greatest gift in our lives
• How parents’ emotions, thoughts, and intentions shape the unborn child
• The role of Garbh Sanskar in raising emotionally intelligent, resilient, and conscious future generations

This conversation is not just for expecting parents, but for anyone who wants to understand how the seeds of life are sown long before birth.
