Search every verified Projjal Ghatak interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Projjal Ghatak, CEO and co-founder of OnLoop, has been active in podcast interviews and public discussions about the future of work, performance management, and the role of AI in leadership. He founded OnLoop in 2020 to create a category he calls Collaborative Team Development (CTD), which aims to reinvent how hybrid teams are assessed and developed. Ghatak has described the company as born from his personal frustration with traditional performance review processes during his tenure at Uber and Accenture, and he has stated that OnLoop uses generative AI to convert observations into structured feedback, with a focus on making feedback direct and kind while reducing bias. He has also discussed the importance of psychological safety in feedback delivery and the role of AI in automating managerial busywork, citing research that a large portion of knowledge worker tasks could be automated. In interviews, Ghatak has shared his views on AI's transformative potential, arguing that most cognitive tasks not requiring human judgment will be automated and that humans will remain valuable in areas like forming connections, making judgments, and connecting disparate ideas. He has also spoken about the challenges of hybrid work, including what he describes as "productivity paranoia" among leaders, and has advocated for a shift away from annual performance reviews toward continuous, observation-based feedback. Ghatak has been open about the personal difficulties of founding a company, including his experience with anxiety and therapy, and has emphasized the importance of mental fitness for entrepreneurs. He has also coined the term "eloquence bias" to describe how those who advocate for themselves visibly may be rewarded over others, and he has discussed his plans to spend time in the UAE as part of OnLoop's global growth efforts.
