People Operations & Recruitment lead who builds HR functions and scales teams from 0 to 50+.
What I'm looking for
I am a People Operations and Recruitment Lead with over three years of experience building and scaling HR functions in both startup and corporate environments. I thrive as an early HR hire, partnering with founders to design roles, hiring pipelines, and people systems from scratch.
At Opt2deal, I served as the first HR hire and de-facto People Lead, owning end-to-end recruitment for 50+ hires across operations, sales, support, and leadership while implementing onboarding, training, and HR systems to support rapid growth.
In a corporate setting at Sun Life India Service Centre, I supported HRIS accuracy, compliance, onboarding, payroll coordination, and HR reporting—bringing structured processes and audit-ready standards to people operations.
I combine a builder mindset with strong communication and execution focus, and I am experienced in remote, cross–time-zone collaboration, workforce planning, performance support, and enabling consistent employee experiences.
