Balkishan Sharma has joined Paras Health as Group CHRO and Business Transformation Officer, bringing over 22 years of leadership experience across Max Healthcare, Fortis Escorts Hospital, and Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre.
At Paras Health, which operates a 2,135+ bed multi-specialty network across six states, Sharma will lead workforce transformation, strengthen leadership depth, and align organisational culture with growth ambitions.
Strategically, this dual HR + transformation mandate signals a shift from traditional personnel management to enterprise-wide capability building. As healthcare networks scale, operational efficiency increasingly depends on leadership alignment, cultural cohesion, and talent agility.
With expansion accelerating in India’s hospital sector, Paras Health is positioning people strategy as a core driver of performance, resilience, and long-term competitiveness.
Overall, this is a strategic leadership move: strengthen culture, scale capability, and build transformation from within.
