I’m a seasoned Global Talent Acquisition Specialist with 11+ years of experience leading recruitment strategy, leadership hiring, and stakeholder management. I currently report directly to the CHRO and oversee global recruitment, while leading a team of recruiters to hire across all business units.

My approach is intensely metrics-led: I’ve enhanced key acquisition outcomes such as offer-to-join ratio, cost per hire, time to fill, retention rates, pipeline creation, and diversity ratio—consistently surpassing corporate staffing goals. At Azira, I designed and implemented strategic hiring initiatives across India, EMEA, and APAC, building systems and processes that drove 90% of hires from internal sources and reduced reliance on external vendors to under 10%.

I’ve anchored recruitment models that balance team structure with hiring challenges across multiple product lines and unique skill requirements. I’ve managed and closed 300+ open positions while achieving an 80% reduction in time-to-fill, and I’ve improved funnel quality by increasing resume selection after the first technical interview (25% to 50%) and improving candidate selection for final interviews (35% to 50%).

I run end-to-end hiring for Technology, Product, Marketing, enabling functions, and Leadership roles across Bangalore, Australia, and the U.S., including workforce planning, sourcing, screening, evaluating, and referring qualified candidates. I’ve also strengthened onboarding by raising success rates from 27% to 80% through structured onboarding, and I’ve driven Offer drop/renege below 30% while owning campus hiring relationships with top-tier institutions. I’m especially motivated by driving an organization’s people’s growth through competencies, diversity, and culture fitment.
