I partner with business leaders to transform hiring into a strategic business function by combining talent intelligence, technology, and data-driven decision-making. My experience spans global hiring across Engineering, Product, Telecom, Cloud, Digital, and Corporate functions, where I have built scalable hiring processes, strengthened employer branding, and delivered measurable improvements in recruitment efficiency. Alongside leading end-to-end hiring, I've implemented AI-enabled recruitment solutions, designed structured interview frameworks, built executive recruitment dashboards, optimized ATS workflows, and created scalable early-career hiring programs through the NASSCOM NAPS Apprenticeship initiative. Passionate about creating exceptional candidate experiences, I believe recruitment is not just about filling roles it's about building teams that drive business growth.

About

I’m an HR Professional, with 9+ years of experience across HR Partner, Talent Acquisition, stakeholder management, and people practices. Currently working with Kohler, I partner closely with business leaders and teams to understand business priorities and translate them into effective people strategies. My experience spans HR business partnering, talent management, workforce planning, employee engagement, and end-to-end talent acquisition across diverse functions including IT, Marketing, Design, and Business Operations. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with leadership teams, support business growth, solve people-related challenges, and build strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders. Talent Acquisition has been an important part of my career, giving me a strong understanding of talent markets, workforce needs, and the employee lifecycle. I bring this perspective into my HRBP role to connect people decisions with business requirements. I hold a PGDM in Human Resources from MIT School of Business. I believe in open communication, collaboration, continuous learning, and creating a positive employee experience. I enjoy working with people, understanding different perspectives, and building relationships based on trust. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, painting, and exploring creative pursuits. Always open to new perspectives, learning opportunities, and meaningful conversations — let’s connect!
