About

👨‍💼💼 L&D leader with 15+ years turning learning strategy into measurable business outcomes across BFSI — not just training hours delivered, but talent retained, capability built, and culture shifted 🔄 Currently leading Learning & HR at Bajaj Auto Credit Ltd, where I own onboarding and induction for every hiring channel, drive the Talent Council on performance and attrition themes, and run compliance and business-linked training across the organization. Before this, I spent 11 years as Learning Manager at Bajaj Finance, building the L&D strategy from the ground up — from instructional design ,Compliance Training and LMS rollouts to leadership development and employee experience platforms used by thousands of employees 💪 What I bring to a Head/Lead L&D role: ✔️ Learning strategy that's business-linked, not generic — I build learning plans off actual function-head input and pilot before scaling ✔️ Full-cycle instructional design using ADDIE, from content creation to LMS deployment to consumption tracking ✔️ Compliance and culture programs that actually get completed — Code of Conduct, POSH, and integrity reporting systems with high sign-off rates ✔️ Employee experience ownership — I've launched wellbeing, recognition, and pulse-survey programs that leadership uses for real decisions ✔️ A track record of digitizing L&D — new LMS implementations, e-learning, mobile and social learning formats 🏆 Achievements I Hold: Recruitment & Onboarding - Led campus recruitment visits to attract "new blood," engaging 100+ candidates and filling 30% of entry-level positions - Managed onboarding/induction for 900+ on/off-roll employees, cutting ramp-up time by 25%. - Enrolled new training vendors, expanding network 20% to support seamless new hire integration - Recruited project interns and assigned strategic tasks, delivering 50+ completed projects annually Performance Management - Conducted Development Centers, identifying 50+ high-potentials for leadership pipelines - Tracked performance via LMS, initiated PIPs, boosting productivity 15%.Aligned employees to vision/mission, improving engagement scores 20% - Scheduled review meetings quarterly, driving 90% action item completion across teams 🏅 Certified in Instructional Design, Microlearning, Gamification, and Business Analytics, with an MBA-HR and a Change Management credential from IIM Raipur 🚀 I'm currently exploring Head/Lead – Learning & Development opportunities where I can own strategy end to end 📧 Open to conversations — feel free to connect or reach out directly.
