What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a people-focused organization where I can lead talent acquisition and HR operations end-to-end—using HR analytics, compliance, and productivity automation to improve hiring, performance, payroll accuracy, and employee experience.

I’m a Talent Acquisition and Management leader with hands-on experience managing end-to-end recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and workforce planning across US and India. I focus on aligning HR policies, processes, and compliance with the realities of how teams operate and grow.

At AheadOne Technologies, I led HR policies and procedures, compensation and benefits strategy, employee relations, and succession planning to build a reliable leadership pipeline. I also use HR metrics and analytics to monitor program effectiveness and recommend data-driven strategies to senior leadership.

I’ve managed full-cycle payroll administration—including Zoho Payroll and Zoho People integration—ensuring accuracy, timely salary distribution, PF filings, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. Previously, as an HR Manager at Hawkspark Technologies, I supervised recruiting, improved employer brand tactics, and tracked recruiting metrics like time-to-hire and cost-per-hire.

My background includes recruitment consulting and research work, which sharpened my sourcing approach across job portals and social channels, plus interview and verification processes. I bring a builder’s mindset: I restructure processes with leadership, deliver training sessions on performance and compliance, and continuously upskill using AI tools for HR documentation, training content, and productivity.
