What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a growth-oriented company that values innovation and collaboration.

I am a dedicated Talent Sourcing Manager with over 4 years of experience specializing in building elite founding teams for Seed to Series A startups across the US and India. My expertise spans technical, non-technical, and leadership hiring, particularly in the fields of LLMs, GenAI, and ML. At Novoguild, I successfully scaled the sourcing function from scratch, generating over $200K in revenue through strategic placements.

Throughout my career, I have partnered with various startups, including those in e-commerce and martech, to deliver high-impact talent solutions swiftly. My ability to hire for critical roles such as Founding Engineers and Heads of Engineering has established me as a trusted resource among VCs and founders. I pride myself on my track record of consistently placing senior individual contributors and executive-level hires in both the Indian and US tech markets.

In my previous role at Infosys, I managed bulk recruitment for the Engineering - Consumer Medical Devices unit, averaging 50 hires per quarter. My commitment to ensuring a positive candidate experience and my ability to train internal teams on technical recruitment best practices have been key to my success in the industry.
