Join iMocha's Executive Roundtable Series — Atlanta, Dallas, LA
Express Interest
Pune, India - June 30, 2026 – iMocha, a global leader in AI-powered Skills and Work Intelligence, today announced key insights from its 'Look Beyond the Label' Executive Roundtable, held June 20, 2026, in Pune. The invite-only gathering brought together senior HR, Learning & Development, and Talent leaders from technology, automotive, manufacturing, financial services, and HR technology organizations to discuss how enterprises can move beyond resumes and job titles to build a true picture of workforce capability.
The Pune session is the first stop in a broader 'Look Beyond the Label' Executive Roundtable series. iMocha will host three additional executive roundtables in the United States this July, convening CHROs, Chief People Officers, and senior talent leaders in Atlanta (July 14), Dallas (July 21), and Los Angeles (July 23) to continue the conversation with the US HR and talent community.
The Pune roundtable opened with a fireside conversation with a senior HR leader on operationalizing skills-first workforce design at scale, with leaders agreeing that the most effective transformations start with business processes, not people: mapping core workflows, identifying what can be automated, and only then designing the skills needed for the human work that remains. The group also converged on a clear path forward for skills validation, moving away from resumes, manager intuition, and interview performance toward AI-enabled systems that draw on real work activity and performance data for a more evidence-based picture of capability.
Most organizations in the room are already running active upskilling programs, and discussion centered on sharpening how that learning is measured, moving beyond completion rates toward tracking whether new skills actually show up in day-to-day work. On internal mobility, leaders shared practical models for turning strong organizational appetite into action, including blending talent across very different functions and using structured internal gig programs to let employees take on short, cross-functional assignments as a low-risk entry point.
On AI, the conversation was notably solutions-oriented: leaders agreed that the real lever is acceptance and habitual use rather than additional tooling, and pointed to internal networks of “AI champions” as an effective way to distribute hands-on, domain-specific guidance across an organization rather than centralizing it in one team. The session reinforced a shared sense that closing the AI skills gap in the market, paired with this kind of grassroots adoption model, is the fastest path to durable progress.
The roundtable closed on a forward-looking note, with leaders identifying measuring upskilling impact, responsibly using AI to infer skills from workplace data, and scaling internal mobility within local labor and compliance frameworks as the next frontier for the practitioner community to tackle together. iMocha noted that this shared agenda is exactly what the “Look Beyond the Label” series is designed to advance.
Following the Pune session, iMocha will bring the ‘Look Beyond the Label’ executive roundtable series to the United States, hosting invite-only executive sessions for CHROs, CPOs, and senior talent leaders in three cities: Atlanta on July 14, Dallas on July 21, and Los Angeles on July 23. Each session will follow the same practitioner-led, evidence-first format as the Pune roundtable, giving US-based HR and talent leaders a forum to discuss the same set of challenges around skills validation, AI adoption, and workforce mobility in their own market context.
“The label on a resume has never told the whole story, and in an AI-driven economy, relying on it is no longer good enough,” said Amit Mishra, CEO of iMocha. “What struck me most in Pune was how candid senior leaders were about the gap between their skills ambitions and the evidence they actually have to act on them. That candor is exactly why we built this series, and it’s why we’re bringing the same conversation to HR and talent leaders across the US this summer.”
