About

With over 18 years of experience in talent solutions and workforce strategies, I currently lead nexocean, where we redefine how offshore teams are built and scaled from India. My focus is on creating purposeful solutions that attract top talent, ensure operational excellence, and foster sustainable growth for global partners. Previously, I founded WOLVES, later acquired by upGrad, where our team revolutionized hiring for GCCs, scaling workforces for over 80 offshore centers. Our efforts enabled global companies to tap into India’s talent pool, transforming hiring models across industries. My goal remains to empower organizations to unlock their potential through innovative workforce solutions.
