About

MBA HR from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar and B.Tech from PSG Tech Coimbatore. Currently Working as an HRBP, I'm a dynamic learner with a flair for communication; an out-going and proactive individual who is always on the lookout for challenging opportunities in my areas of interest. My core competencies include excellent communication, analytical and interpersonal skills. I also place a high value on attention to detail and leadership. There is a burgeoning belief among business leaders that HRM, more than ever before, has a significant role to play in the success of a business and I would like to contribute to the belief by ensuring the HR goals of the organization are not only met, but also contribute to the overall goals and strategy of the organization in a meaningful manner. Before joining XIMB, I contributed to the broad organizational goals of Cognizant by donning various hats in Testing Domain such as leading a team and conducting various organizational activities in my account. Through each of these roles,I have always endeavored to contribute to the satisfaction of the both the internal and external customers. For me work has always been about an opportunity to learn, innovate, be proactive and most importantly network with various stakeholders involved
