Hi,
I have also completed an MBA in Biotechnology from Amity University. As I am working in a biotech firm, I believe it's different here because, no doubt, you have to deal with people, but in a biotech firm, people are basically scientists or science graduates. They have their own perceptions about management practices. So, you'll have to study, observe, and then formulate strategies relating to them.

Dear Vaishnavim,
HR in any industry does not differ. HR is a function, and the functional aspects of HR would remain irrespective of the industry you choose.
There are certain differences because of the following reasons:
(a) whether your company is registered under the Factory Act or the Shops & Establishment Act
(b) whether it is a Pvt Ltd or a Public Limited company
The basic components of HR remain the same viz. Manpower Planning, Recruitment & Selection, Training & Development, Performance Management, Career Planning, and so on. To handle these components effectively, you need to have knowledge of the industry, the pulse of the industry, and certain key words that are specifically used in the industry. Your effectiveness as HR lies in your knowledge of the operations of the company.
Some statutory aspects would differ depending on whether it is a factory or a service industry. However, attendance management is important in whatever industry you are in.
Thanks,
