What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead full-cycle global talent acquisition, improve employer branding, optimize processes, and build high-performing teams with data-driven hiring strategies.

I am a Strategic Talent Acquisition specialist with 13+ years of experience building and scaling technical and non-technical teams across Product, Internet, EdTech, and IT Services sectors.

I partner with startups and established organisations to manage full-cycle recruitment — sourcing, screening, interviews, assessments and offer negotiation — with a focus on quality, speed and candidate experience.

My work includes leading large-scale and campus hiring drives, optimizing recruitment processes and ATS workflows, and delivering market intelligence and employer branding improvements that reduce cost-per-hire.

I have a proven track record hiring across India and international markets, advising clients on recruitment strategy, diversity hiring, and data-driven talent acquisition to build high-performing teams.
