About

I didn’t start out in HR. I began my career in M&A at KPMG, deep in the world of finance. Somewhere between the spreadsheets and strategy decks, I realized that what truly energizes me is working with people. That led me to pursue a Master’s in Human Resource Management—and since then, I’ve never looked back. (That said, I still have a soft spot for a good spreadsheet and a sharp deck!) I kicked off my HR journey at Paytm, where I partnered with teams across product, design, growth, marketing, and tech. I had the opportunity to work closely with leadership, drive strategic programs, and build people practices that truly moved the needle. Today, I’m at Jar, a fast-paced fintech startup in Bangalore, where I’m learning and unlearning every day. I bring a blend of structured thinking, business empathy, and people-first problem-solving to the table. I enjoy bringing order to chaos, building scalable processes, and helping leaders and teams show up at their best. I’m also someone who loves finding smarter ways to do things. While I may not write code, I enjoy tinkering with tools and figuring out ways to automate the repetitive stuff—tech (and a bit of AI help) has definitely made that more fun and possible. And outside of work? You’ll probably find me baking—it’s my version of therapy and creativity rolled into one.
