TA Manager | HRBP | Head of Talent Acquisition | 7+ Yrs Building People Ops from Zero | High-Volume & Technical Hiring | AI-Native HR

About

Some HR people inherit a function. I've built four, from nothing. I'm a Talent Acquisition and HR Business Partnering leader with 7+ years across SaaS, investment, and workforce-tech companies. I move at two speeds and know which one a role needs: I closed roughly 80 roles in 6 months at peak volume, running up to 30 open requisitions at once, and I've also run slower, structured technical hiring averaging a 2-week close when precision mattered more than speed. I own the full people stack, not just hiring: performance management (appraisals, probation reviews, PIPs), employee relations and workplace investigations, POSH Internal Committee leadership, payroll and statutory compliance (PF, ESI), and HRMS vendor governance across Darwinbox, Keka, GreytHR, and RazorpayX. I've served as a strategic partner to founders and senior leadership on workforce planning, organizational design, and headcount planning through multiple company scale-ups. I'm AI-native, not AI-curious. I use Claude and ChatGPT alongside scripting to automate recurring HR workflows in my day-to-day work. Currently exploring TA Manager, Senior TA Manager, HRBP, and Head of Talent Acquisition roles in Bangalore. If you're hiring for one, let's talk.
