Associate Manager – HR Business Partner | L&D | Onboarding & Campus Development | Arvind Limited

About

I'm an HR professional who genuinely loves the people side of the job — the first-day nerves of a new joiner, the spark when a training actually lands, the slow but real growth of a campus hire finding their footing. At Arvind Limited, I've had the privilege of wearing many hats — from being part of the team that built Samarth, Arvind's first-ever campus development programme, to serving as HRBP across ECS Business, Arvind Foundation, and more recently stepping into cross-vertical support for Denim HR. My work sits at the intersection of business partnering, learning & development, and employee experience — and I bring the same warmth to every interaction, whether it's a day-one induction or a year-long development journey. Currently navigating an exciting chapter as Arvind moves towards a GCC model — learning a lot about large-scale organisational change along the way.
