At BYJU'S Think & Learn, I acted as HRBP for a 400+ employee business unit, partnering with delivery heads and managers on workforce planning, performance, engagement, and retention.

I ran performance, calibration, and PIP processes, coaching 15+ managers on goal setting, feedback, and difficult conversations. I also managed employee relations cases and lifecycle activities from onboarding through separation.

At CMA CGM, I partnered with HRBPs and managers across 80+ countries on talent reviews, succession, performance, and workforce discussions. I tracked the global performance review cycle, helping achieve 95% completion within the review timeline, and built Workday and Excel dashboards for workforce data.

Earlier, at JESSI Group of Companies, I built and ran the organisation's first formal performance review cycle for 300 employees. At TVS Sundaram Clayton Ltd, I concluded a five-year collective agreement with zero work stoppages and contributed to a 15% labour-cost reduction through workforce planning and staffing decisions.
