About

“If you love what you do, you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” -- I truly believe in that philosophy. I found that truth when I started my journey at Korcomptenz, where I discovered my passion for talent acquisition. It continued to flourish during my time at Freshworks, where my role evolved organically from operational tasks to a more strategic partnership. I had the opportunity to manage hiring across multiple job families, from junior to senior levels, managing multiple BUs, implementing and executing Process improvement projects while enjoying full ownership and accountability in my work. Today, I am excited to carry that passion forward in my current role at Workday as a P4 Sr. Talent Acquisition Partner leading the strategic hiring for Product & Technology Org in Chennai. Workday’s “people first” mission and their values deeply resonates with my personal values — helping individuals find not just jobs, but meaningful careers. Recruitment for me goes beyond matching skills to roles. It’s about building genuine, lasting professional relationships. I take the time to understand what truly matters to candidates in their careers and strive to be a trusted partner in their journey. Also my journey extends beyond the corporate realm. I'm not just about managing roles; I'm a National Level Athlete with a passion for competitive cycling. Clinching championships in Chennai and holding the Tamil Nadu (State) Champion title for three consecutive years, I bring dedication both in the office and on the race track :) ________________________________________________________________________________ I believe in the power of networking and meaningful connections and would be happy to connect with like minded professionals, share stories and explore ways we can support each other's journeys.
