Senior HR Business Partner specializing in workforce planning, performance, onboarding, and retention.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an HR professional with a decade of solid experience across multiple sectors, including O&G, finance, accounting, staffing, stock broking, and product-based organizations. I’m recognized for being organized and a team player, with a proactive focus on improving operations and employee experience.
As an HR Business Partner at SBM Offshore, I engage stakeholders at all levels and use data-driven quarterly forecasts and consecutive year forecasts in Anaplan to predict workforce requirements for strategic talent management. I also lead rewards and performance review processes, run career conversations and coaching, and drive succession planning, skill-gap assessments, and learning needs programs to support growth and retention.
Earlier, as Manager HRBP at Pierian Services and in HR roles at ffreedomapp, TASC Outsourcing, and Zerodha, I governed performance evaluation and rewards, strengthened employee onboarding and offboarding, and produced HR reporting using tools like ZOHO People and SuccessFactors. I continually sharpen my approach through LinkedIn certifications in “Human Resources: Using Metrics to drive HR Strategy,” “Strategic Human Resources,” and “HR Business Partner,” and I bring a metrics-and-people mindset to every HR partnership.
