## About

I've built HR functions from the ground up and scaled people strategy across India, US, UK, ANZ, and Canada — recognized among HR 40 Under 40 for it\. What that's actually meant, day to day: designing org structures before they're needed, catching retention risk before it shows up in exit interviews, and building compliance frameworks that hold up across very different regulatory environments — not just policies that look good on paper\. Over 8\+ years, I've gone from building HR as a founding team member \(owning HR, IT, and governance from scratch\) to leading multi\-country HR strategy at Scrut Automation today — partnering with leadership on workforce planning, talent development, and the operational realities of running HR at scale\. I care most about the parts of HR that don't get talked about enough: getting the details right — proration logic, compliance edge cases, final settlements — because that's often where trust with employees is actually built or lost\.
