I build scalable people operations, onboarding, and culture systems for remote-first teams.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Tech9, I've built and led people operations for remote-first teams across India, owning onboarding, offboarding, employee documentation, software licensing, asset provisioning, and time audits.
I co-authored Tech9's global employee handbook and designed structured 90-day and annual review cycles. I partner with engineering, recruiting, and leadership on workforce planning, team utilization, employee relations, and manager enablement.
I've also strengthened distributed-team connection through Culture Calls and a Slack-based recognition program, while supporting managers to create psychologically safe and inclusive team spaces.
Earlier, I led end-to-end recruitment at Tech9 and Wolters Kluwer, reducing average time-to-hire by two weeks at Tech9 and delivering 40+ hires with a 70% outreach-to-placement conversion rate. I bring an empathetic, detail-driven approach to turning people policies and processes into clear, human experiences.
