The services sector, with around 52 per cent contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2014-15, has made rapid strides in the past decade and a half to emerge as the largest and one of the fastest-growing sectors of the economy. The services sector is not only the dominant sector in India’s GDP, but has also attracted significant foreign investment flows, contributed significantly to exports as well as provided large-scale employment. As service sector transitioned the economy to a knowledge economy and will continue to see the vigorous growth which will further propel its expansion, a need was felt to analyze this robust service sector in contributing to the sustainability factor – that is the practice of green HRM(GHRM)  in the organization.
