Hi Madhanmohan Devarajan,

Thanks for sharing..

I gone through this. I will try first option and let you know.

we will not go with second option as employee data is not static its getting changed every week/month.

Hi Rashmi,

I think there is a feature available to sync the custom attribute to SharePoint online User Profile using latest Azure AD Connect as mentioned in the below technical forum.

There is another work around using PowerShell script that is given in the below link.
