What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can own talent strategy and HRBP outcomes—building end-to-end hiring and onboarding programs, strengthening employer branding, and using data to improve selection quality, retention, and people outcomes.

I’m a strategic HR professional with 10 years of progressive experience across Talent Management, HR Business Partnering, talent strategy, and people & culture leadership. I architect end-to-end talent programs that translate business goals into measurable improvements in hiring quality, retention, and program outcomes.

As HR Lead for Digital Impact Square (DISQ), I embed as an HRBP to advise leadership on HR strategy, people strategy, culture design, and talent decisions across founders-in-residence, program staff, and ecosystem partners. I lead people and culture initiatives across 6 innovation cycles, design structured onboarding frameworks to reduce early attrition, and manage national talent acquisition sourcing and selection for 1,000+ applicants.

Previously, I led campus hiring at TCS as Campus Hiring Lead, building relationships with placement cells across 50+ campuses and delivering strong outcomes including an 80% offer-to-joining rate. As Onboarding Lead, I improved branch joining rate by 20 percentage points and reduced early-tenure attrition to 5%, while ensuring 100% compliance; I also managed experienced professional hiring with ATS optimization and predictive talent forecasting for 12–18 months ahead.
