What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead HR strategy and operations in a growth-oriented organization, drive compliance and performance, and develop people through structured learning and career pathways.

I am a self-motivated HR professional with extensive experience designing and implementing HR systems, policies, and performance management frameworks across manufacturing, logistics, FMCG, and NGO sectors. I have led HR functions for organizations of 300–1,000+ staff, set up HR departments, implemented Balanced Scorecard-based Performance Management Systems, and reduced staff turnover through targeted human resource strategies.

I excel in industrial and employee relations, recruitment, training and development, compliance with labor laws, and compensation administration. I am proactive, detail-oriented, and results-driven, with a record of creating trackers and processes that improved HR operations and ensured statutory compliance while supporting organizational growth and operational continuity.
