About

Passionate about connecting people with purpose. Currently leading recruitment for Markai Group, Dubai, I specialize in scaling teams, building hiring strategies, and driving recruitment excellence across the UAE. With 10+ years in HR — spanning ICICI Bank, India Infoline, Piramal Finance, and now Markai — I’ve mastered the art of hiring right, fast, and with heart. I love transforming hiring functions into agile, data-driven, and people-centric engines of growth. Whether it’s campus hiring, employer branding, or process optimization, I believe every great hire begins with a great experience. Beyond work, you’ll find me exploring Dubai’s culture, mentoring young professionals, or chasing new adventures. Let’s connect — always up for conversations on talent, leadership, and the future of work.
