Why RH Factor?
Practice
RH Factor Consulting Group is a senior advisory practice built on 32+ years of corporate HR leadership across seven industry verticals: BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, IT, services, hospitality, and the diamond and luxury sector.
Founded by Capt. Rahul Sharma, former Group CHRO and CEO, the practice works with a small number of founders, CEOs, and boards at a time. Engagements are retained, multi-quarter, and built entirely around the client's specific context. No templates. No off-the-shelf frameworks.
The measure of a successful engagement is simple. The organisation is structurally stronger when we leave than when we arrived.
Why Retain First, Then Hire? The RH Factor Philosophy
The name is not accidental. RH stands for a deliberate philosophy: Retain first, then Hire right.
Most organisations invest heavily in talent acquisition while losing their best people through the back door. The cost of attrition, in institutional knowledge, leadership depth, team morale, and raw recruitment expenditure, is one of the most underestimated drains on business performance in India today.
We begin every engagement by diagnosing why people are disengaging, underperforming, or leaving. We fix that first. Then we build the HR architecture to attract, develop, and retain the right people, sustainably. The work is grounded in 32+ years of operating experience across businesses that were growing fast, restructuring under pressure, or navigating leadership transitions.
That is a different foundation from a consulting firm that has only ever advised from the outside.
If the people question is at the centre of your business problem, this is where to start.
