Culture Shepherd at Kissflow
Abhishek Paul has worked for about two decades in large enterprises, start-ups, and scaling companies within the technology space. This experience, witnessing the industry's cycles of growth and decline, made him curious about intrinsic motivators and how to scale them successfully within an organization.
Currently, he is the Culture Shepherd at Kissflow, where he tends to the company's culture by guiding its direction and creating systems and practices to protect the "soul" of the organization as it grows, ages, and loses some of its original builders. This "non-BS approach" involves creating new ways of running people operations for hiring, performance management, growth, and rewards, specifically designed for the modern technology workforce.
His passion for applying "Systems Thinking" principles to create meaning-driven, high-performance work cultures led him to pursue a doctoral thesis at IIT Madras. Before his current role, Abhishek had the privilege of being on a special assignment with the SWAT team under the COO's office at Infosys. His objective was to lead the PMO in transforming the company's policies and processes to help the massive organization regain the nimble feel of a "small company" while retaining its value and scale.

Your company is growing, but is your culture breaking?
Your company is growing, but is your culture breaking?
It's the classic scaling dilemma. The tight-knit, energetic culture that powered your early success starts to fade as new teams are added, processes become rigid, and the original builders move on. How do you scale the business without losing the "soul" of the organization?
