Strategic HRBP | Talent Management and Workforce Planning for High-Growth Businesses | XIM Bhubaneswar MBA, Ex-Amazon, Zepto

About

6 years of HR Business Partnering for technology and Operations functions driving Talent Strategy, Talent Management, and HR Digitalization across high-growth start-ups. I build the people foundations that fast-growing consumer businesses run on. Across Amazon, Zepto, BYJU'S and Clicktech Retail, my work has sat where business growth meets organisation design and development: planning the workforce budget for expansion, shaping the organisation as it changes, and building talent and performance systems that hold up at scale. At Zepto, I owned workforce planning and an operations manpower budget of about INR 65 crore as the dark store network expanded, working directly with the COO and operations VPs. At Clicktech Retail, I built the talent management framework from scratch. As one of the first HRBP for BYJU'S technology org, I redesigned performance management and kept high potential talent through a major restructure. At Amazon I led leadership development and talent review adoption across India Operations. I do my best work close to the business, partnering CXOs and business leaders on workforce planning, org design, talent management, performance systems and change. I trained as an engineer before my MBA in HR at XIM Bhubaneswar, so I tend to look at people decisions the way the business looks at its numbers.
