What I'm looking for

I seek a role driving strategic talent acquisition and employer branding, with strong stakeholder collaboration, process improvement, and opportunities to scale hiring across geographies.

I am an HR professional with progressive experience across Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partnering, and HR operations, having led pan-India recruitment programs, campus hiring, and HRMS digitalization to improve efficiency and retention. I have driven measurable outcomes such as reducing candidate dropouts by 35%, increasing employer engagement by 50%, and cutting HR turnaround time by 40% through process redesign and automation.

I partner with stakeholders to design DEI-driven recruitment strategies, EVP campaigns, and internal mobility frameworks that accelerate hiring and support workforce planning. I am comfortable operating across urban and rural geographies, collaborating with global teams, and scaling hiring through recruiter training, HR policy implementation, and employer branding initiatives.
