At Trigent Software Pvt. Ltd., I lead a 70–75-member recruitment and delivery organization across RPO, MSP, SI, GCC and internal TA engagements. I implemented Microsoft Fabric AI across recruitment workflows, reducing internal hiring turnaround from 3 days to 1.

I delivered 16.7% year-over-year revenue growth and enabled 120% net headcount growth through account expansion, workforce planning and recruitment governance. I also established a New Joiner Success Framework and built dashboards to track hiring effectiveness and recruiter productivity.

Previously, at Aditi Consulting, I led India-wide RPO/MSP recruitment operations and delivered 13% year-over-year revenue growth, improved gross margin by 28% and reduced cost-per-hire by 18%. At Apar Technologies, I redesigned sourcing models and reduced time-to-hire by 20%.
