Bikram K Nayak has joined NCC Limited as Vice President – Human Resources, taking charge of the people function at one of India’s largest construction and infrastructure enterprises.
The company said Nayak will lead HR transformation across a workforce of more than 15,000 employees, spread over 13 regional offices, as NCC continues to scale its operations amid sustained infrastructure spending.
Nayak brings more than two decades of experience across infrastructure, manufacturing, technology and consulting. Prior to joining NCC, he served as CHRO – Alumina Business at Vedanta Limited, where he was responsible for aligning human capital strategy with the group’s global growth ambitions, the company said.
Before Vedanta, Nayak founded Empert Consultants, advising startups and multinational companies on niche hiring and HR transformation programmes. He has also held senior HR roles at Mindtree and spent over 24 years at Larsen & Toubro, where he worked across multiple leadership mandates.
At L&T, Nayak played a central role in talent management, leadership development and digital HR initiatives. His responsibilities included heading the HR function at L&T-NxT, contributing to global HR policy reforms, and supporting senior leadership hiring from the CEO and Managing Director’s office, according to people familiar with his career trajectory.
NCC Limited said Nayak’s experience in workforce productivity, digitisation and diversity initiatives would be critical as the company navigates increasing project complexity and competition for skilled talent.
His appointment comes at a time when infrastructure companies are rethinking people strategies to support execution intensity, safety standards and long-term capability building. NCC said strengthening leadership pipelines and modernising HR systems would remain key priorities in the coming years.
