About

I’m a Human Resources professional with 4 years of experience spanning HR operations, talent acquisition, employee engagement, and culture transformation across global and multicultural environments. My approach blends strategic thinking with execution — helping organizations attract, develop, and retain great talent while fostering a positive employee experience. Currently, I work as a Talent Acquisition Partner (APAC) at OPTEL Group, leading end-to-end recruitment for technical and non-technical roles across India and Globally as well. Beyond hiring, I drive initiatives in onboarding, HR analytics, rewards and recognition, wellness, and compliance, contributing to a strong people-centric culture. With an MBA in Human Resources from Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Hyderabad, I’m passionate about advancing in the areas of HR Business Partnering (HRBP), HR Centers of Excellence (COE), and Recruitment Strategy — roles that combine analytics, collaboration, and culture-building. I believe HR is evolving into a space where data, empathy, and innovation intersect — and I’m excited to contribute to that transformation. Always open to connecting with professionals and organizations focused on people, purpose, and progress.
