About Bharat Altum
Where
India
Works.
We are a workforce operating partner — not a staffing vendor.
Bharat Altum deploys and manages people at scale across India. We carry the payroll, the compliance, the attrition and the day-to-day accountability that most organisations would rather not own — and we do it as an extension of your HR team, not as an outside supplier.
We operate the way we always wished our own partners had. With named ownership. With full transparency. With a standard of service set by leaders who have sat in the client’s chair.
Our Story
Built by people who ran India’s largest workforce operations
Bharat Altum was founded on a clear conviction: that workforce management in India needed to evolve, from transactional staffing into structured, scalable and strategic human capital solutions. Established by industry veterans bringing over 75 years of combined global leadership experience, Bharat Altum was built from day one to serve organisations that demand reliability, governance and execution at scale — not vendors who simply fill seats.
Bharat Altum has grown into a market-leading manpower and human capital solutions firm. We partner with enterprises at critical stages of growth across all industries, managing the workforces of some of the country’s largest companies across every major city, and deep into the Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets where India’s next growth is happening.
At the core of everything we do is a commercial mindset. We work directly with leadership teams to design workforce models aligned to business strategy, cost structure and long-term scalability — not standardised templates.
Whether the mandate is rapid expansion, geographic diversification or operational restructuring, Bharat Altum brings the structure, predictability and execution discipline of an organisation built to operate at national scale. This is workforce management the way large, complex businesses actually require it.
Governed, accountable and built to last.

Today
Bharat Altum
A workforce operating partner, built by the people who ran it all — for the businesses that run India.
What We Believe
We do staffing — differently.
Our principles come from having been on the other side of the table. We are the only staffing partner in the market who customises the entire service offering per client.
We are consultants.
We do a deep dive into your business and speak to all stakeholders to understand exactly what your objectives are — and what your pain points are.
We have been the client.
Our leaders have approved invoices, audited compliance and absorbed the cost of attrition. We build for the CHRO and CFO because we have answered to them.
Customisation is the standard, not the exception.
No standard package, no forced workflow. Our model, our systems and our reporting are shaped around how you actually run, not around what is easier for us.

Leadership
Founded by industry pioneers
A career spent organising India’s workforce.
Chairman & Founder
Amit Dhawan
- Randstad India · President
- G4S India · Managing Director
- Indian Staffing Federation · Executive Board
Amit Dhawan has spent over three decades at the highest levels of workforce management in India — not as an observer, but as the person accountable for hundreds of thousands of people across some of the most operationally demanding businesses in the world.
As President of Randstad India, the Indian arm of the world’s largest staffing company, he built and led a deployed workforce of over 1.5 lakh people. As Managing Director of G4S India, the world’s largest security and manpower company, he scaled operations to over 2 lakh deployed personnel. Beyond operations, Amit served as an Executive Board Member of the Indian Staffing Federation, contributing to the policy and regulatory framework that governs formal employment in India.
As one of the pioneers of the Indian staffing industry, this depth of operational experience ensures we know exactly what our clients need.
Bharat Altum is built on a philosophy that no two businesses are alike, and no workforce strategy should be either. Where the industry offers standard solutions, we offer something fundamentally different — a partner that immerses itself in a client’s business, builds a staffing strategy around their specific operating reality, and functions as a true extension of their leadership team.
India’s growth story has always been powered by its people. Over the decades, I have witnessed how building a structured, reliable workforce has become essential to our country’s progress. Bharat Altum was founded to strengthen that foundation — to help Indian enterprises grow responsibly and at scale.
— Amit Dhawan, Chairman & Founder
