What I'm looking for

I am seeking a leadership role in talent acquisition where I can drive data-led hiring strategies, improve time-to-hire, build employer brand, and mentor recruitment teams in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a results-driven Talent Acquisition leader with extensive experience building and executing recruitment strategies across IT, product, HRSS and corporate functions. I excel at workforce planning, stakeholder collaboration and using recruitment analytics to improve time-to-hire and quality of hire.

Throughout my career I have led large teams and vendor networks, managed pan-India hiring programs, and delivered high-volume onboarding (900+ in TA) and niche senior hires for product and analytics functions. I bring proven compliance discipline, employer-branding experience and a hands-on approach to recruitment operations.

I prioritize building strong hiring partnerships, efficient processes and positive candidate experiences. I seek to apply my expertise in talent acquisition strategy, data-driven decision making and team development to drive measurable hiring outcomes for growth-oriented organizations.
