Founder | Career Coach | Hiring Strategist After years of working in career development and interacting with thousands of candidates, I saw a recurring gap where companies were investing time and resources in hiring, but still missing the right talent. That’s why I founded Crossing Hurdles, a recruitment agency built to simplify hiring and elevate outcomes. We don’t just send resumes. We solve hiring. ✅ Role-specific shortlists ✅ CVS vetted by domain experts ✅ Sharp, transparent communication Our approach is simple: find the right people and bring them in - faster, better, and without the guesswork. 💼 At Crossing Hurdles, we’ve placed top-tier talent across firms. We help high-growth companies build elite teams and guide job seekers to roles that match their ambition and potential. 🎓 Career Coaching & Mentorship With 10+ years of experience, I’ve coached thousands of professionals and B-School grads from MIT Sloan, Harvard, NUS, Duke, Ross, and others across 20+ countries. I regularly speak as a guest lecturer at IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Kozhikode, IIFT, SP Jain, and MDI Gurgaon. 🔍 Previous Stints I’ve held leadership and strategic roles at Snapdeal, Hewlett-Packard, Niti Aayog, CBSE, and the Corporate Executive Board, gaining cross-functional expertise in product, people, and performance. 📩 Whether you're building your team or navigating your next career move - let’s connect and make it count.
