About

I'm an HR professional with a postgraduate degree in HR (MMS, 2025) and hands-on experience at Asian Paints & LehLah , where I worked across the employee lifecycle from onboarding and campus hiring to engagement and L&D support. What I care about most sits beyond the transactional side of HR. I'm drawn to the questions that shape how organisations actually feel to work in, How do you build a culture that people stay for? How do you make your employer brand authentic, not just attractive? How do you design experiences that help people grow? I'm currently exploring opportunities in OD, culture & engagement, and employer branding — roles where I can contribute meaningfully and keep learning from people who take this work seriously. If that sounds like your team, I'd love to connect.

Work experience

HR at LehLah, Aug 2025 - Apr 2026 · 9 mos, LehLah (part of the ESSAR Group) is where I grew from an HR fresher into someone who could walk into a CEO presentation and own the room. Talent acquisition was a significant part of my role, I closed 32 positions in just 3 months with a 96.87% successful onboarding rate. But what made the hiring work wasn't just speed. I took the time to understand every role, every manager's working style, and every candidate as a person not a profile. That's what made placements stick. Beyond TA, I was deeply embedded with the people here. I knew employees by name, by what was going on in their lives, by what frustrated them at work and what made them feel seen. That closeness wasn't accidental….I believe HR only works when people trust you enough to be honest with you. I built that trust deliberately, one conversation at a time. What I worked on: End-to-end recruitment across functions sourcing, screening, offers, onboarding ->closing 32 roles in 3 months with a 96.87% onboarding success rate. Designed a structured, role-based hiring framework aligned to business capability needs. Conceptualised and launched 'LehLah Learning Compass' — an ELT-led leadership development program adopted company-wide. Built a functional Learning Directory mapping role-specific development paths. Presented pulse survey analytics and cultural diagnostics directly to the CEO and leadership team. Led change management for office relocation — zero productivity disruption. Designed the Rewards & Recognition framework including engagement-driven Fun Awards. Served as trusted point of contact for employee grievances structured, confidential, human. This role taught me that the best HR is invisible to the people it serves - they just feel supported, valued, and heard. That's the practitioner I'm becoming.

Human Resources Business Partner at Asian Paints, Jan 2025 - Jun 2025 · 6 mos, Vakola, Asian Paints gave me my first real look at what enterprise HR feels like from the inside structured, people-heavy, and always moving. I worked across the employee lifecycle, contributing to onboarding, exits, campus recruitment, confirmations, and engagement initiatives. But more than the tasks, what I took away was an understanding of where employee experience actually holds up and where it quietly breaks down. A few things I was part of: Led coordination for campus hiring cycles, from planning through to onboarding Supported recognition and L&D programs aimed at engagement and capability building. Handled grievance coordination with a focus on confidentiality and timely resolution. Contributed to smooth onboarding and exit processes across business units. What this role sparked in me was a deeper curiosity about the "why" behind HR….why do people stay, what makes a culture feel real versus performative, and how can HR be more intentional about the experience it creates
