## About

```text
I am a Talent Acquisition Specialist with experience in end-to-end recruitment across B2B SaaS, media, campus, and enterprise IT environments. Currently at Pepagora, a B2B SaaS product company, where I have built 40% of the organisation's workforce from scratch — hiring across 20+ role types spanning Product, Engineering, UX, DevOps, Marketing, Sales, and Operations.

I started my career at Ford Motors as an Operations Analyst, where I was promoted to Subject Matter Expert within the tenure. This background in data, process design, and automation gives me a stronger analytical lens than most HR professionals — I approach hiring with dashboards, metrics, and structured workflows rather than gut feel.

My key strengths are high-volume hiring, leadership and technical role hiring, campus recruitment, and building HR processes from the ground up. I have hired niche profiles including Apache OFBiz Developers, QA Automation Engineers, Sr DevOps Engineers, UX Researchers, and PPC Specialists. I consistently maintain a 14-day average time-to-hire and 80% offer acceptance rate.

I hold an MBA in HR and Business Analytics from IFIM Business School, Bangalore, and I am passionate about using data to make hiring faster, smarter, and more predictable.

I am open to Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partner, and People Operations roles — preferably in product, tech, or SaaS companies where hiring quality directly impacts business growth.
