About

With nearly 10 years of experience in global talent acquisition, I specialize in full-cycle recruitment for niche technology and leadership roles across APAC and North America. Currently, as a Senior Technical Recruiter at athenahealth, I lead product and niche software development hiring across global business divisions in India, while also managing entire strategic HR and leadership FP&A recruitment in India. My focus is on finding the right balance between quality, speed, and long-term business impact. Beyond hiring, I’m deeply involved in DEI initiatives — leading Women Returnship Programs, TA enabled projects, Cross-functional HR Projects, Career Fairs, Hackathons, and Boomerang Talent Engagement to help build a more inclusive and future-ready workforce. 🚀 Previous Work Highlights & Impact: • Scaled hiring by 200% at OneDirect (now part of Gupshup) by aligning recruitment strategies with evolving business goals and driving seamless talent operations in India. • Led large-scale tech hiring at Anzy Global for top global clients including Amazon, Walmart, Uber, and Flipkart — spanning mid-level to senior leadership roles. Let’s connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas on hiring innovation, talent strategies, and the future of recruitment! 🚀
