Aprajita Suud — Head of Talent
People-First HR Leader | Strategic Talent Architect | CXO Partner | Succession & Culture Champion With 18+ years of experience driving high-impact HR, Talent Acquisition, L&D, and Admin portfolios, I help fast-growing organizations build inclusive, high-performing teams and future-ready leadership pipelines. My journey spans product startups, fintech, retail, and global enterprises—aligning people strategy with business ambition, enabling transformation, and nurturing cultures where talent thrives. As Head of People Function at indiagold, I lead HR, TA, L&D, and administration, partnering with founders and business leaders to shape growth, succession, and HiPo development. I’m passionate about data-led hiring, robust employer branding, HR technology adoption, and performance management—delivering measurable impact (like 35% faster hiring and 20% greater internal mobility). Throughout my career, I’ve built zero-to-one people functions, scaled teams during hypergrowth, and led org design, workforce planning, and leadership development across India and APAC. My dual MBAs (Carlson School of Management – full-time; Symbiosis) complement my cross-sector experience, from tech and product to retail and consulting. I thrive in collaborative, growth-focused environments and enjoy mentoring talent, building culture, and partnering with stakeholders to solve people challenges at scale.
