IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Talent Acquisition leader with 14+ years building scalable hiring systems across campus, leadership, and cross-functional hiring. I operationalize recruiting with structured frameworks, AI-native workflows, and clear KPIs—turning hiring into a repeatable system.
I’ve built and scaled teams and engines that delivered 2,000+ hires across engineering, product, ML, and business roles, including converting JIRA into a fully functional ATS for end-to-end recruitment records. I’ve also reduced cost per campus hire by 25% while doubling volume, scaled organizations like Vahan (90→250) and CloudSEK (80→150), and improved funnel quality and speed of hiring with AI-driven sourcing and structured evaluation.
