Senior Human Resources leader focused on HR operations, talent management and engagement.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Human Resources professional with 12+ years of cross-industry experience spanning real estate, Ad-tech, SaaS, fintech, IT and ITES. I manage end-to-end HR functions including talent acquisition, HR operations, performance management, payroll and compliance across pan-India and select international locations.
In leadership roles I have implemented HRIS transitions, designed SOPs and policies, led performance management cycles, and reduced payroll errors by 40% through process streamlining. I have driven rewards & recognition programs, engagement initiatives, and managed complex employee relations and grievance matters.
I have successfully partnered with business leaders to align HR strategy with organizational goals, led HR teams through growth and crisis (including COVID protocols, layoffs and re-hiring), and supported US and Oman teams on policy and compliance matters. I have also contributed to product development for HR software features and testing.
I seek to deliver measurable HR outcomes by combining operational rigor with people-centric initiatives, building strong HR processes, and fostering positive employee experiences that support business objectives.
