About

As an Assistant Manager – Talent Acquisition at Baazi Games, I drive full-cycle recruitment strategies that power a fast-paced gaming ecosystem. From building high-performing tech and non-tech teams to enhancing recruitment operations, my focus is on aligning talent with business needs while delivering a seamless candidate experience. I’ve taken ownership of high-priority mandates across Product, Tech, and Business functions — reducing time-to-fill by 20%, expanding our passive talent pipeline, and running zero-cost hiring initiatives through strategic sourcing, referrals, and vendor partnerships. I also work closely with leadership to ensure every hire contributes to both capability and culture. Previously at Paisabazaar.com, PropertyGuru Group, and Biz Staffing Comrade, I led hiring across diverse markets including APAC, implemented scalable campus programs, optimized ATS workflows, and revitalized referral and diversity hiring strategies. I’m passionate about building hiring engines that are agile, inclusive, and data-informed — and always on the lookout for smarter ways to connect the right talent with the right roles.
