About

I was meant to be a biologist, but somewhere between lab sessions and research papers, I realised I’m more drawn to understanding the psychology of people. :) This crucial pivot led me to the Indian startup ecosystem, where I’ve spent the last 8 years building teams, designing scalable hiring processes, and attracting top-tier talent. At Plum, you will find me: - Scouting for talent - Partnering with hiring managers to hire quicker and better - Building hiring systems that scale without losing quality or integrity I lean on data, follow my curiosity, and enjoy breaking through hiring roadblocks. Right now, I’m focused on bringing in strong leadership and insurance sales talent - folks ready to roll up their sleeves for our next phase of growth. If that sounds like you or someone you know, let’s chat!
