As Chief Human Resources Officer, Shobana will lead RateGain's global people strategy. She will own talent, leadership development, and organizational culture, and will work closely with the leadership team to strengthen the capability and leadership the company needs as it enters its next chapter of global growth. A core part of her remit is ensuring RateGain's culture and capability keep pace with the ambition of its technology. AI now runs through everything RateGain builds and everything it does. The company has moved to agentic AI across its platform, scaling across North America and Europe and integrating Sojern as it progresses. The same shift is changing how the company works from within. As RateGain builds AI into its products, it is building AI into its people, developing a workforce that treats these tools as second nature. This is what makes the appointment so important. Shobana's mandate is to build the talent and culture that let RateGain grow its people as fast as its technology. Speaking on the new appointment, Bhanu Chopra, Founder and Managing Director, RateGain, said, “This is a pivotal moment for us. We are scaling quickly, and we are putting AI at the heart of both what we build and how we work. That makes our people and our culture matter more than ever. Shobana has led diverse teams through exactly this kind of growth at some of the best technology companies, and she knows how to turn talent into an advantage. I am glad to have her on board”. Recognizing Sahil Sharma's contribution to RateGain's journey, Bhanu added, “I want to thank Sahil on behalf of the entire RateGain family. He joined us in 2016, when RateGain was still a young private company, and built our people function from the ground up. He guided the HR team through our public listing in 2021, through multiple acquisitions, and through our growth into a global business, shaping the people-first culture we are known for today. His steady leadership has left RateGain stronger and its people better for it, and we wish him the very best for what lies ahead”. Shobana Kailash, Chief Human Resources Officer, RateGain, said, “RateGain is at an exciting inflection point. What attracted me to the company is the opportunity to help shape the people and organizational agenda of a global technology business that is building a differentiated position at the intersection of travel, data and AI. The evolution of RateGain into a connected travel-commerce platform, together with the integration of Sojern and the continued development of UNO, creates a compelling platform for the next phase of growth. I look forward to working with the leadership team and our people to build the capabilities and culture to match that ambition”. Shobana brings more than two decades of experience across SaaS and technology, fintech, life sciences, and e-commerce, leading people strategies through rapid growth, transformation, and public company readiness. Most recently she has advised organizations across industries through her own consulting practice, following her role as Global CHRO at Hubilo, with earlier leadership roles at IQVIA, Freshworks, and Amazon. Her work spans organizational design, culture, total rewards, HR transformation, and cross-border M&A, across a career that has taken her through more than 30 countries. Shobana takes over from Sahil Sharma, who has been a crucial part of RateGain's journey.
