About

A people-first, result-driven recruiter with 8 years of experience in hiring top-tier talent across tech and non-tech domains. I specialize in end-to-end recruitment, with deep expertise in building teams for high-growth, product-led companies like Uber (Mobility/Tech), OYO (Hospitality/TravelTech), Naukri (HRTech), Better, and SproutsAI (AI/Tech). From backend engineers, data professionals, and AI specialists to sales, operations, and leadership roles, I’ve consistently hired for niche, critical, and diversity-focused mandates. Well-versed in the art and science of recruitment, I navigate talent markets with agility, build lasting relationships, and help businesses scale with the right people. I don’t just fill jobs. I build power teams. I architect growth stories. I connect businesses with the kind of talent that moves the needle.
