About

I help universities and education-focused businesses build high-performing teams that actually move the needle. With over 20 years in Talent Acquisition and HR, I’ve led hiring strategy, workforce planning, and executive search across India for some of the most respected names in higher education and Ed-Tech. I specialize in building leadership and academic teams from the ground up—fast, efficiently, and with long-term fit in mind. As Co-Founder & CEO of GRAM HR Solutions, I work hands-on with institutions to solve their toughest hiring challenges. From scaling recruitment operations to rolling out employer branding initiatives, I bring a practical, results-oriented approach rooted in deep sector expertise. Prior to GRAM, I led TA and HRBP mandates at UPES, Pearl Academy, and Laureate Education, managing national and international hiring, setting up Centers of Excellence, implementing ATS systems, and driving cost savings through smarter internal processes. What drives me? Building systems that work. Empowering HR teams. And making recruitment a strategic advantage—not just a process.
