Chai with Nitya

Since joining Fresenius Kabi India in 2023, Nitya Shah has become a driving force for change and innovation. As Assistant Manager HR, she has taken on responsibilities that extend far beyond her title, making an impact through projects that enhance employee well-being, foster belonging, and redefine workplace culture. Over a cup of classic Indian chai, Nitya shared the journey that has shaped her career and the meaningful work she’s passionate about.

Nitya’s day-to-day work is as dynamic as her role itself. Her projects span diverse areas, including creating employee well-being strategies, driving employee engagement initiatives, performance management, managing Fresenius Kabi India’s social media presence, driving employer branding initiatives. For Nitya, no two days are alike, and that’s exactly what keeps her energized. She begins each morning with a discussion with her manager to prioritize tasks and then dives headfirst into her ever-evolving responsibilities.

What truly sets her experience apart at Fresenius Kabi is the culture of empowerment. Nitya recalls how, on her very first day, her manager encouraged her to find her own path and make a difference. This trust and autonomy have been central to her growth, allowing her to lead significant initiatives independently. One of her proudest achievements includes developing HR practices that were recognized as best practices by the Top Employers Institute – an accomplishment that underscores her ability to create meaningful change.

These initiatives aren’t just tasks for her – they are opportunities to ensure employees feel valued, supported, and included.

We asked her a few questions:

What does a typical workday look like for you?

My work is incredibly dynamic because it’s entirely project based. No two days are the same. Recently, my focus has been on creating strategies for employee well-being, engagement, performance management, and managing our social media presence.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

The opportunity to create something new. Fresenius Kabi has given me the freedom to lead projects that bring meaningful changes to the organization. 

How does working at Fresenius Kabi stand out compared to other companies?

It’s the trust and empowerment. When I joined, my manager told me, “Find your own path and do what makes a difference.” That level of trust is rare, especially for someone with only a year and a half of prior experience. It has motivated me to take ownership and deliver impactful results.

How do you embody Fresenius Kabi’s ‘Committed to Life’ philosophy?

For me, it means being dedicated to the well-being and inclusion of our employees. I launched a Wellness app and worked on employee engagement initiatives to create a sense of belonging. These projects are close to my heart because they directly improve the lives of my colleagues.

What’s something people might not know about you?

Outside of work, I enjoy playing badminton on weekends. It’s a great way to recharge and balance my dynamic professional life.
