About

Hi, I’m Anisha- an HR Operations & People professional with 5+ years of experience, now based in the UAE and actively seeking opportunities. Originally from Mumbai, India I’ve built my career in high-growth startups, driving HR operations and building strong employee experiences. Over the years I’ve worn many hats: implementing an HRMS platform in just 30 days, managing payroll for 400+ employees, improving the gender ratio from 1:15 to 1:6, reducing hiring costs by 25%, and introducing engagement and recognition programs that boosted satisfaction scores by 20%. I believe HR works best when it’s people-first, simple, and scalable, it makes the work smoother and teams happier! Some key things I’ve learnt and excel at: -HR Operations & Process Design: set up HR systems and managed Benefits Administration that scales as the business grows. -Employee Lifecycle Management: recruitment, onboarding, performance management, engagement, and retention -Payroll & Compliance: streamlined payroll & ensured labour law adherence -People Strategy & Culture: drove employee surveys, feedback loops, and action plans that improved satisfaction and strengthened culture. -HRMS/ATS Implementation & HR Analytics: leveraged tech and data to optimise processes -Leadership Alignment: partnered with leaders to link HR initiatives with business goals In my previous experiences as the HR Manager at Newton School & Intugine Technologies, I’ve led teams, implemented processes that scale, improved retention, and built people-first organisations. The role of an HR manager has let me solve problems, set up processes, and support people along the way and has pushed me to use both my head and heart, which I love! Now in the UAE, I’m open to HR opportunities where I can use my expertise to deliver impact. 📩 Let’s connect!
