About

Bridging the gap between Complex Engineering and Human Capital. Most recruiters understand people; most engineers understand systems. My edge is the 0.1% overlap where both meet. With a B.Tech in Computer Science and an MBA, I don't just "fill roles" — I architect talent engines that scale. The Track Record Over the last 3.8+ years across EdTech (upGrad, Scaler) and IT Consulting (Capgemini), I have treated recruitment like a high-performance product: Velocity — Delivered 150+ placements in a single quarter while hitting aggressive growth targets. Efficiency — Achieved a 70% reduction in time-to-hire by optimizing workflows and implementing robust ATS frameworks (Darwinbox, Ciepal, X0PA, LineupX). Stakeholder Trust — Managed end-to-end hiring for Fortune 500 clients, acting as a strategic partner to C-suite leaders and technical hiring managers. The Technical Edge I am a "Builder" at heart. I stay hands-on with the latest in AI, building end-to-end projects using Claude, Codex, and agentic AI workflows. This lets me speak the same language as the SDEs and architects I hire, automate redundant recruitment tasks, and assess technical depth with a precision standard recruiters miss. What I Bring to the Table Talent Strategy: Scaling recruitment functions from 0 to 1 and 1 to 100. Tech Stack: ATS Implementation, Python, AI-Native Workflow, Data-Driven Hiring. Domain Expertise: EdTech, IT Services, and Corporate Relations. What I'm Looking For Talent Acquisition Manager / Senior TA Specialist roles in Bangalore where the company is scaling tech hiring (Series B+ startups, product companies, GCCs) and values data-driven, AI-native recruiting over volume-spray. Open to connect — DMs are open.
