About

Accidentally started Tech Talent Scouting & gradually became passionate about it the more I got myself immersed in it! My first job taught me well about how the internet and logic behind search works with strong emphasis on research and as I continued in the same space for few years I imbibed effective Talent scouting , the power of research, basics of storytelling, Thirst of reading about business domain & I am on my way now to explore & evolve to become the best version of myself in Recruiting function by delivering effective stakeholder experience to enhance engagement which helps building a strong brand @ Target ! I’ve recruited in high-stakes, high-speed environments — from Investment Banking to Retail Tech. With 7+ years of talent acquisition experience across Goldman Sachs and Target Corporation, I specialize in hiring top-tier tech, analytics and leadership talent that drives business impact. At Goldman Sachs, I learned the art of precision sourcing — engaging niche, passive talent in ultra-competitive markets. At Target, I’ve scaled that precision into full-cycle recruitment, partnering with senior leadership to build high-performing teams in India. I don’t just chase resumes — I craft talent stories, build pipelines that don’t dry out and bring a human lens to every hire.
