Leading with purpose in mining’s next chapter

22nd August 2025

     

Font size: - +

Business leader Raksha Naidoo has built her career on more than technical expertise — she has built it on vision. As the CEO of The Particle Group, she stands at the forefront of innovation in the mining sector, blending operational excellence with a deep commitment to inclusivity, sustainability and future-proofing the industry.

Her journey has been defined by breaking barriers. In an industry historically resistant to change, Naidoo has consistently challenged outdated norms, championing a culture where equity and respect are not just policy statements, but everyday practice. She believes that mining’s greatest resource is not in the ground, but in its people and that unlocking human potential is the key to long-term industry resilience.

Beyond her corporate role, Naidoo is a thought leader and advocate for women in mining, and as WiMSA chairperson, she shapes conversations that push the sector toward genuine transformation. Her leadership is marked by a rare blend of courage and empathy: courage to question the status quo, and empathy to create environments where others can thrive.

In her own words, leadership is about “leaving the system better than you found it” — a principle that continues to guide her as she navigates the complex challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving mining landscape.

Naidoo’s story is not just one of personal achievement, but of an unwavering belief that purpose-driven leadership can, and must, change the industry for the better.
