About

• As a recent MBA (HR) graduate from Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies (SIMS), I am passionate about helping organizations attract, engage, and retain the right talent. • Through internships with KAPS Recruitment, Bersavi Consulting, and Honda Cars India, I have gained hands-on experience in Talent Acquisition, Recruitment Operations, Compensation Benchmarking, and Employee Onboarding. • I've sourced and screened 300+ candidates across multiple functions, supported end-to-end hiring processes, and contributed to initiatives that improved the employee experience. • What interests me most about HR is the combination of people and data. Alongside recruitment, I enjoy exploring HR Analytics and using insights to understand employee well-being, engagement, and workplace trends. • I am currently seeking opportunities in Talent Acquisition, HR Operations, and HR Business Partnering, where I can continue learning, contribute meaningfully, and grow as an HR professional. Let's connect to discuss talent, people practices, and opportunities within the HR space.
