Livspace has elevated Sonal Tayal to Head of HR, marking a strategic move to deepen talent, culture and organisational development across its fast-expanding markets. With hands-on experience in design execution, business operations and workforce development, Sonal now leads the company’s people agenda at a crucial scaling stage.
Her appointment reflects a growing shift in consumer-build industries where HR is not a support function, but a growth engine.
A Leader Who Built the Business Before Leading People
Ramakant Sharma, Founder & CEO, highlighted that Sonal’s career journey is rooted in operational realities from launching Livspace’s Delhi-NCR business to shaping cross-functional efficiencies.
“In a people-intensive industry like ours, our people and the business need to move together. Sonal understands this because she has lived the business end-to-end,” he said.
Business-First HR Approach
Sonal’s perspective on HR is shaped by her decade-long exposure to product, execution and talent dynamics.
“HR and business have to work as one,” she said, noting that her new role is a natural continuation of problem-solving, scaling and building multidimensional teams.
Livspace’s move to appoint a business-built leader to HR underscores a broader organisational truth: culture, talent and performance are strategic levers not administrative tasks.
Sonal’s business-grounded experience positions her to align workforce strength with Livspace’s next phase of growth and market expansion.
