“Comfort is far riskier than starting over.”After 25 years in senior HR leadership, Vishwajeet Tyagi explains why he chose purpose over security — and what hiring leaders must relearn today.

Welcome to The Leadership Lounge with The CEO Magazine.

In this episode, Shweta Singh speaks with Vishwajeet Tyagi, Founder & CEO of SynergyCraft Consulting, a human-centric talent and workforce advisory firm redefining how organisations hire, grow, and retain leadership talent.With over 25 years of experience in HR and talent leadership, Vishwajeet has worked closely with founders, CXOs, and global organisations across sectors. His journey includes some of the toughest moments in corporate life — including leading large-scale workforce restructuring and retrenching over 5,000 employees — experiences that fundamentally shaped his philosophy around people, purpose, and responsibility in leadership.After decades in senior HR roles, Vishwajeet made a bold decision: to walk away from comfort, reputation, and security to build something of his own. That decision led to the birth of SynergyCraft Consulting in December 2023 — a firm built on a simple yet powerful belief: hiring is a responsibility, not a transaction.

In a recruitment market obsessed with speed, SynergyCraft focuses on clarity, alignment, and long-term impact — helping organisations build resilient talent ecosystems while supporting professionals through meaningful career transitions.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Vishwajeet opens up about purpose-driven entrepreneurship, the human cost of poor hiring decisions, and why technology must support — not replace — human judgment.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why “comfort” can be more dangerous than starting over
• The defining moment that led Vishwajeet to leave a senior HR role
• The problem with transactional recruitment models
• Why SynergyCraft prioritises quality over speed in hiring
• Building teams with values, discipline, and courage
• AI in recruitment: where humans must never be replaced
• How culture is really built — beyond town halls and policies
• Leadership, integrity, and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs

This episode is a must-watch for founders, HR leaders, business heads, and professionals navigating leadership, hiring, and growth in uncertain times.Subscribe to The CEO Magazine for more conversations with India’s business leaders, founders, and changemakers shaping the future of work.
