About

As a recruitment professional with over 8 years of experience, I specialize in campus hiring and engagement, with a strong track record of identifying and nurturing fresh talent across India. My journey has taken me through the vibrant world of university relations, where I’ve built lasting partnerships, driven large-scale hiring initiatives, and helped bridge the gap between academia and industry. I’ve had the privilege of leading end-to-end campus recruitment strategies, organizing national-level hackathons, and hiring from top-tier institutions like IITs and NITs. Beyond campus, I’ve also contributed to lateral hiring and played a key role in setting up new teams from scratch—aligning talent strategies with business goals. What truly drives me is my passion for mentoring freshers. I actively engage with early-career professionals to understand their development areas and guide them toward industry-relevant certifications—even before they step into their roles. My goal is to empower the next generation of talent to thrive from day one. Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler and a dedicated football fan, always up for exploring new places and cheering for Arsenal / Chennayin FC / CSK. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about talent, innovation in hiring, or just want to talk football .
