Mumbai: Buffalo Soldiers, the dynamic start-up advertising agency with a digital heart, is excited to announce the appointment of Gunjan S Dixit as the new lead talent officer. Dixit joins Buffalo Soldiers from Schbang, where she made significant contributions to building the Delhi office through her exceptional HR strategies and programs.
With over a decade of experience in human resources across diverse industries, Dixit brings a wealth of expertise to her new role at Buffalo Soldiers. She is a seasoned professional known for her strategic thinking, team-building abilities, and outstanding communication skills. Dixit's passion for operational excellence and talent management makes her the ideal choice to lead the agency's talent acquisition and development initiatives.
Dixit's impact on Schbang's Delhi office was remarkable, and her track record of success speaks for itself. She played a pivotal role in developing and implementing innovative HR strategies that aligned with the agency's vision and supported its growth. Her ability to forge strong partnerships with stakeholders and senior leadership teams ensured a thriving work culture and high employee engagement.
Commenting on her appointment, Dixit said, "I am thrilled to be part of Buffalo Soldiers, an agency renowned for its digital prowess and rapid growth. I look forward to contributing my expertise in talent acquisition and development to help shape the agency's workforce and culture. I believe that nurturing the right talent is crucial for driving success, and I am excited to be part of an organization that values its people and invests in their growth."
"Buffalo Soldiers is a new-age agency that truly embodies innovation and creativity. They are the only agency in India which truly values its start-up mentality and ensures that every teammate gets equity from a pool that co-founders have set aside. That is so genuine and is ground-breaking in agency life and mindset,” says Dixit.
“The most important thing at Buffalo Soldiers will always be that ‘emphasis’ on hiring the right people. My role will be to find candidates whose ambitions are aligned with the company's goal and will serve the interests of the organization. At Buffalo Soldiers, like Netflix, leaders do not play safe. Here we focus on what people get done, not how many days they have worked, tapping into a deep understanding of how to maximise productivity, creativity and motivation. Therefore, we want only “A” players on our team,” said Dixit.
Buffalo Soldiers co-founder and CEO Sumon K Chakrabarti shared his excitement about Dixit's appointment, "We are delighted to welcome Gunjan to the Buffalo Soldiers family as our Lead Talent Officer. Her extensive experience and proven track record in HR strategies and programs will be instrumental in building and retaining a high-performing team that drives our agency's growth and success. We are confident that Gunjan's expertise and passion for talent management will further strengthen our agency's position in the industry."
“At Buffalo Soldiers, we try to imbibe the Netflix culture. We model ourselves on being a professional sports team, not a family. A family is about unconditional love. A dream team is about pushing yourself to be the best possible teammate, caring intensely about your team, and knowing that you may not be on the team forever. Dream teams are about performance, not seniority or tenure. And Gunjan’s joining will help us go for that Nirvana everyday, till we achieve it,” said Buffalo Soldiers co-founder & COO Sujay Chakraborty.
Dixit's previous accomplishments include roles at renowned organizations such as Schbang, Gutenberg LLC, The Yellow Stage, Taj Eduglobe, and Diverse Lynx India Pvt. Ltd. She holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University, and an MBA in Human Resource Management and Services from NMIMS Global.
As Buffalo Soldiers continues its sustainable growth story coupled with innovative approach to advertising, Dixit's leadership and strategic HR skills will play a crucial role in attracting top talent, fostering a positive work environment, and driving the agency's continued success.
