About

As an HR leader with over 15 years of cross-industry experience, I’ve built a career around aligning people strategy with business performance. I currently serve as Director – Human Resources at Mouthshut.com, where I lead initiatives in talent strategy, culture transformation, digital HR, and leadership development to support our business growth and innovation goals. My approach is rooted in three principles: people-first thinking, data-driven decision-making, and patient, purposeful leadership. I’ve led HR transformations in fast-paced environments, scaled recruitment operations, improved retention through engagement programs, and driven diversity and inclusion strategies from concept to execution. I’m passionate about building high-performance cultures that inspire people to do their best work. Whether implementing AI-powered compensation tools, reimagining performance systems, or coaching senior leadership, I combine strategic vision with operational depth to create lasting impact. Known for being a strong collaborator, clear communicator, and solution-oriented leader, I bring empathy, agility, and accountability to every role I step into. I believe that HR’s role is not just to support the business — but to drive it. 💬 Let’s connect if you’re interested in shaping the future of work, people analytics, or inclusive leadership.
