About

With ~6 years of experience in Talent Management and HR Business Partner roles, I have partnered with business leaders across multinational, matrixed organizations in the UAE, India and the APAC region. Currently, as Talent Engagement Lead at Miral Experiences, I focus on employee listening, talent retention, HR analytics and rewards & recognition to enhance organizational performance and engagement. Previously, I contributed to people strategy and leadership development at The Hershey Company and Johnson & Johnson. Holding an MBA in HR from XLRI Jamshedpur, SHRM-CP certification, Hogan Assessment certification, and progressing toward ICF ACC coaching credentials, I began my professional journey as an engineer, which has provided a strong analytical foundation that complements my HR expertise. Passionate about driving talent strategies that build high-performance, inclusive cultures aligned with business goals.
