MetLife Global Capability Centres (MGCC) has announced the appointment of Dimple Kaloya as its new Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), effective 17 August 2026. The leadership appointment comes as MGCC continues to strengthen its organisational capabilities and sharpen its focus on building a future-ready workforce in an increasingly technology-driven business environment.
With extensive experience in global HR leadership, workforce transformation and organisational strategy, Kaloya brings a strong combination of people expertise and business understanding to MGCC’s executive leadership team. In her new role, she will take charge of the organisation’s people and organisational agenda, supporting its continued evolution as a strategic enterprise capability hub.
Kaloya joins MGCC after a seven-year tenure at HSBC, where she held several senior human resources leadership positions. Most recently, she served as Head of People for the Global Capability Network India and Group Functions Global Capability Network and Technology Centers, leading people priorities across complex and globally connected business environments.
Leading MGCC’s People and Organisational Transformation Agenda
As CHRO, Kaloya will play a central role in shaping how MGCC builds, develops and prepares its workforce for the future. Her mandate will extend beyond traditional HR leadership, encompassing organisational effectiveness, workforce priorities, operating models and the development of capabilities aligned with emerging technologies.
Her key responsibilities are expected to include building a more future-ready organisation, strengthening MGCC’s role as a strategic enterprise capability, advancing workforce and people priorities, and supporting the development of AI-enabled skills and capabilities.
The appointment reflects the growing importance of human resources leadership at a time when organisations are redesigning their talent models and operating structures to respond to rapid technological transformation. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape jobs, skills and workplace expectations, companies are increasingly looking to their HR leaders to help create organisations that are both agile and prepared for long-term change.
For MGCC, Kaloya’s experience in organisational transformation and workforce strategy could prove particularly valuable as the organisation enters its next phase of growth and capability development.
Bringing Seven Years of Leadership Experience From HSBC
Before joining MetLife Global Capability Centres, Kaloya built a significant part of her recent leadership career at HSBC. During her seven years with the global banking and financial services organisation, she worked across senior HR roles involving business partnering, talent development, organisational transformation and large-scale workforce initiatives.
In her most recent role, she led the people’s agenda for HSBC’s Global Capability Network India and Group Functions Global Capability Network and Technology Centers. The position involved working across complex organisational structures and aligning people strategies with evolving business and operational priorities.
Her experience at HSBC also covered several important areas of modern HR leadership, including leadership development, employee experience, employee relations, organisational effectiveness and the implementation of contemporary people practices.
This broad exposure to large and globally integrated businesses has equipped Kaloya with experience in managing transformation across diverse teams, markets and operating environments.
A Career Built Around Workforce Strategy and Business Transformation
Kaloya’s professional journey spans multiple leading organisations and industries. Before HSBC, she held leadership roles at Ernst & Young, Aon, WNS and Standard & Poor’s, developing experience across business partnering, talent management, organisational design and workforce strategy.
Throughout her career, she has worked with leadership teams and business stakeholders across India, APAC, the Americas and EMEA. This international exposure has helped shape her understanding of how people strategies must adapt to different business environments while remaining closely aligned with broader organisational goals.
Her experience sits at the intersection of human capital and business transformation, an increasingly important area for companies navigating technological disruption and changing workforce expectations.
Rather than viewing HR solely as an administrative or support function, the modern CHRO is increasingly expected to influence business strategy, organisational design and capability building. Kaloya’s career reflects this shift, with her work spanning areas that directly affect how organisations structure themselves, develop leaders and prepare their people for future opportunities.
Focus on Building Future-Ready Organisations
A key theme throughout Kaloya’s professional journey has been the future of work. Her interests include talent strategy, organisational design, workforce transformation, human potential and the growing role of artificial intelligence in shaping the workplace.
As businesses accelerate their adoption of AI and other emerging technologies, the challenge is no longer simply about implementing new tools. Organisations must also rethink skills, leadership models, job roles and the overall employee experience.
This makes capability building a critical priority.
In her new position, Kaloya will help MGCC navigate these changing dynamics by focusing on the people and organisational foundations needed to support future growth. From strengthening operating models to developing new capabilities, her role will be closely connected to the organisation’s efforts to remain agile in a rapidly changing business landscape.
Her experience in organisational transformation is expected to support MGCC as global capability centres continue to move beyond their traditional service delivery roles and take on greater responsibility for innovation, technology and enterprise-wide strategic initiatives.
An Active Voice in the HR and Leadership Community
Beyond her corporate leadership roles, Kaloya has also contributed actively to the wider HR and business community. She is a speaker and participant in industry forums associated with organisations such as NASSCOM, SHRM, NHRDN and CII.
Her engagement with professional forums reflects her interest in the evolving nature of leadership, talent and work. These conversations have become increasingly relevant as companies seek new ways to attract, develop and retain talent while preparing employees for changing roles and skills requirements.
The workplace is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades, driven by AI, automation, shifting employee expectations and the need for greater organisational agility. Leaders responsible for people strategy are therefore being called upon to play a more strategic role in helping businesses balance technological progress with human potential.
Kaloya’s appointment comes at a time when this balance is becoming central to the future of global organisations.
Strong Academic and Executive Leadership Credentials
Kaloya also brings a diverse academic and executive education background to her new role. Her qualifications include a CHRO Executive Education Programme from Wharton Business School and a Certification in Organisation Design from Macquarie University.
She also holds an MBA and a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, giving her a multidisciplinary foundation that combines business, people and technology perspectives.
This combination is particularly relevant in today’s business environment, where CHROs are increasingly required to understand the impact of technology on workforce structures and organisational performance.
As AI and digital transformation continue to influence how businesses operate, HR leaders with a strong understanding of organisational design, business strategy and technology will play an important role in helping companies manage change effectively.

As CHRO, Kaloya will be responsible for helping shape this journey from a people and organisational perspective.
