About

I build teams. Not just fill seats. With 15+ years in Talent Acquisition across FinTech, Telecom, and product-led organizations, I've scaled 800+ hires across Technology, Product, Data, and Information Security — from CXO to Manager level — while maintaining a 97% offer acceptance rate and saving Rs.50L+ in recruitment costs through in-house sourcing and referral optimisation. What makes me different: → Built and deployed an AI-powered JD-to-CV screening bot — live and in use → Automated hiring dashboards using bots, eliminating manual reporting → Achieved 30% diversity hiring — 3x the industry benchmark → Improved candidate CSAT from -10% to +43% in 4 months → ~5% agency dependency — majority sourced via Naukri, LinkedIn, Instahyre & referrals Beyond TA, I currently support HR Analytics & People Tech — managing CXO dashboards, HR budgeting (presented to CHRO), eNPS on Qualtrics, and L&D on Disprz. Previously served as HRBP for a year — managing engagement, attrition, and contributing to Angel One's GPTW journey: 92nd (2022) → 52nd (2023) → 25th (2024). I'm not just a recruiter. I operate at the intersection of Talent, Technology, and Business Strategy. If you're building teams at scale, exploring AI-driven hiring, or want to discuss TA strategy — let's connect.
