IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven HR (People & Culture) professional with around 9 years of hands-on experience in end-to-end HR operations, organizational development, and strategic leadership.

At Rocket Learning I played a key role in growing the organization from 50 to 550+ employees in 2.5+ years, leading onboarding, payroll, benefits, HRMS implementation, and sustaining attrition below 10% through targeted retention strategies.
Earlier roles include Lead HR - Payroll & Compensation at Digicall Teleservices, where I managed payroll for 2,300 employees, strengthened compliance and audit readiness, and improved retention insights; and HR Generalist positions handling end-to-end HR operations, statutory compliance, and talent acquisition.
I am committed to building inclusive, high-performing cultures through policy design, L&D initiatives, performance management, POSH and diversity programs, and HR automation. I seek opportunities to apply my expertise in people strategy, process excellence, and change management to drive organizational impact.
