About

I build teams, and employer brands for growth-stage technology companies across India, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Over the last decade, I’ve helped growth-stage and venture-backed companies — across consumer tech, SaaS, and Industry 4.0 — scale their teams and operations. This includes leading talent strategy, hiring critical early teams, setting up new country operations, and shaping employer value propositions for startups entering India or expanding across APAC/MENA. My experience spans both Fortune 500 environments and early-stage, unstructured setups. This mix gives me the ability to bring order, speed, and clarity during high-growth phases. I’ve helped global companies establish their India presence, build leadership teams from scratch, and hire top-tier product, engineering, data science, strategy, and operations talent. What I specialize in - • Building hiring engines for fast-scaling organisations • Setting up India/APAC hiring programs for US, Europe & MENA companies • Leadership hiring across product, engineering, data, strategy, and operations • Employer branding to attract high-quality technical and business talent • Designing org processes that support scale I enjoy working closely with founders and business leaders to build high-performance, high-trust organisations. If you’re building in India/APAC/MENA and looking to scale your team or strengthen your employer brand, happy to connect.
