About

I’m a passionate and people-focused HR professional with over 4.5 years of experience across Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partnering, and People Strategy—currently working with DeHaat, one of India’s leading agri-tech startups. At DeHaat, I partner with the Technology and Accounts & Finance teams to drive organizational alignment, performance management, and employee engagement initiatives. My work focuses on enabling leaders to build high-performing teams while ensuring a great employee experience through structured processes and empathetic HR support. With a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from BTKIT, I bring a structured, analytical approach to problem-solving, while staying grounded in people-first principles. I thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments where building teams, solving hiring challenges, and influencing culture are at the core.
