About

I’m a senior talent acquisition leader with 19+ years of experience building and scaling high-performing teams across India, IMEA, and Asia. Currently, I head Talent Acquisition for Highspot India, where I partner with global and India leadership to drive hiring across engineering, services, and G&A functions. Before Highspot, I spent 13+ years at Microsoft, leading hiring strategies across IDC, IMEA, and Asia. My strength lies in connecting business strategy with talent strategy, ensuring hiring not only fills roles but fuels growth, culture, and long-term business success. I’m passionate about employer branding, data-driven recruitment, and leadership hiring, and I’ve been recognized globally (Top 30 in a worldwide sourcing competition). I regularly share insights at conferences and mentor recruiting teams on leadership development and CXO-level stakeholder management.
