I build global HR operations, talent strategies, and compliant people systems for business transformation.

What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior HR leadership mandate—CHRO, HR Director, Senior HRBP, or Head of HR CoE—within a regulated, people-centric enterprise where I can lead transformation, scalable HR operations, talent strategy, governance, and workforce optimization.

I've led HR transformation, global HR operations, and people strategy across DRChoksey Finserv, Lumina Datamatics, Kido Education, MAX Life Insurance, and STIC Travel Group. My work has reduced time-to-hire by 25%, hiring costs by 12%, annual attrition by 3%, and onboarding induction turnaround time by 30%.

I'm currently contributing as an SME-Consultant with Aitamate Solutions on ProValuate, an AI-powered hiring-intelligence platform, designing competency-based interviews, dynamic interview models, and CV-to-role fitment scoring. Across India, UAE, UK, and Asia-Pacific, I've built HR CoEs, strengthened statutory compliance, supported C-suite decisions through people analytics, and led workforce, policy, performance, succession, and employee-experience initiatives.
