Religare Enterprises Limited has announced a leadership transition in its human resources function, as Dr. Richa Mishra, who held the title of Director and Group Head – Human Resources, tendered her resignation. The change, effective at the close of business hours on April 6, 2026, marks the end of her tenure as part of the company’s senior managerial cadre. The development places the HR mandate at a crossroads, inviting a period of transition for Religare’s people strategy and operations.
Mishra’s departure underscores the ongoing evolution of Religare’s leadership team. As Group Head of HR, she was responsible for shaping the company’s people agenda and organizational culture, a role that will require careful succession planning to maintain momentum in talent development, workforce planning, and employee engagement during the transition.
In her resignation letter, Mishra cited personal reasons for stepping down and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to Religare’s growth. The statement reflects a respectful close to a tenure described by the professional as a period of growth and professional development. While the board and leadership circle map out the next steps, the focus will be on preserving continuity in HR operations and ensuring a smooth handover of responsibilities.
Religare will now embark on transition planning to identify a successor who can continue driving the HR function’s strategic priorities and support the company’s broader growth objectives.
