#168 Harsh Singh & Gautam Sethi on creating a future-ready workforce, thriving in an unstructured work environment, learning trends and what next for QuilinX

What's better than only one podcast guest? Two!

On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, we have Harsh Singh, Founder and Gautam Sethi, Co-founder of QuilinX.

It’s not every day you get both people management lessons and a window into the future world of the workforce all in a single conversation.

As they say, two heads are better than one. It is easier for two people who help each other to solve a problem than it is for one person to solve a problem alone. Harsh and Gautam's startup, QuilinX is a true example of it.  

Harsh brings 20 years of global experience in enabling organizational excellence through technology, people, process and leadership, while Gautam spent 15 years in the HR fraternity and always wanted to build something through technology that is future-ready. That's where Harsh and Gautam's visions aligned and helped them come together to build QuilinX, a startup developer focussed platform involved in matching & hiring talent to the right opportunities for high growth funded startups. It also provides product development teams to early-stage founders & non-tech business houses.

We discuss with Harsh and Gautam:

• Skills required for creating a future-ready workforce of tomorrow: the importance of the mindset & attitude
• How to thrive in an unstructured work environment
• Why listening to your employees is more important than you think
• How HR has changed over the last 15 years
• Learning trends shaping the future of work- From industrial revolution, information technology revolution to social revolution
• Surging tech salaries: worry for startups
