Abstract
Human Resource (HR) Analytics has emerged as a critical strategic tool enabling organizations to make evidence-based workforce decisions. While metropolitan centres like Bengaluru have widely adopted advanced HR analytics practices, Tier-2 cities of Karnataka are increasingly becoming new hubs for IT, manufacturing, education, healthcare, and service industries. Cities such as Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi–Dharwad, Belagavi, and Shivamogga are witnessing rapid organizational expansion and talent inflow. In this context, HR analytics plays a vital role in addressing challenges related to recruitment, retention, skill development, productivity, and employee engagement. This article examines the scope, applications, challenges, and future prospects of HR analytics adoption in Tier-2 cities of Karnataka. It highlights how data-driven HR practices can support sustainable organizational growth while strengthening regional employment ecosystems.Keywords: Bank Mergers, Karnataka Public Sector Banks, CAMELS, Financial Stability, Bank Consolidation
