What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own HRIS + people operations end-to-end—driving onboarding, payroll/compliance accuracy, audit readiness, and data-driven HR reporting—while partnering closely with leadership to improve efficiency and employee experience.

I’m an HR Specialist with 5+ years of experience owning end-to-end HR operations—from HRIS administration and onboarding/offboarding to payroll coordination and statutory compliance. I keep HR records audit-ready and operations payroll error-free, and I’m comfortable running multiple functions and geographies independently.

In my recent roles, I deployed ZohoHR end-to-end and eliminated 100% of manual spreadsheet errors within the first month. I’ve cut onboarding time-to-productivity from ~3 weeks to 10 days, migrated disconnected HR records into unified HRIS to reduce reporting effort by 40%, and built leadership-ready headcount, attendance, and MIS dashboards with zero incomplete or outdated records across audits. I also handle employee relations and compliance work—administering PF/ESI/TDS and resolving 25+ grievance cases while maintaining 90%+ retention in a high-churn industry.
