About Uday Chobe

Not a Consultant
Who Read the Books.
One Who Lived It.

Uday Chobe spent over two decades inside the engine rooms of India's most demanding manufacturing environments — not advising from the outside, but leading HR and Employee Relations at the highest levels of organisations like Volkswagen, Goodyear Tires, Škoda India and Endurance Technologies.

He has sat across the table in union negotiations, guided leadership through complex industrial disputes, built compliance frameworks from the ground up, and developed people from the shop floor to the boardroom.

In 2020, Uday founded Universal Consultant to make that practitioner-level depth accessible to the organisations that need it most — manufacturers scaling fast, SMEs building their HR infrastructure, and foreign MNCs navigating India's complex labour landscape.

He holds a Master of Social Work in Labour Welfare & Personnel Management and has led social development work as Chairman of Arunoday Bahu-Uddeshiya Vikas Sanstha for over 16 years.
