About

With 28+ years of HR leadership across diverse industrial sectors, I have built a career on the principle that Human Capital is the primary driver of business P&L and organizational resilience. My expertise lies at the intersection of high velocity operational excellence and long term strategic governance. Throughout my tenure in ITeS, Financial Services, and Manufacturing, I have managed large scale operations with a span of control exceeding 4,500+ employees. I specialize in scaling HR systems, leading CXO level successions, and spearheading talent acquisition for cutting edge sectors like Electric Vehicles (EV) and Solar energy. Currently, I serve as Group CHRO for a multi-entity organization, where I lead the human capital transformation for 6 distinct entities. In this role, I bridge the gap between industrial agility and complex institutional governance modernizing talent frameworks, standardizing compliance, and advising the Board on organizational design. I have consistently transformed HR into a critical business driver, ensuring that legacy structures meet modern day agility. Whether hiring CXO talent or leading digital HR migrations, my focus remains on the seamless integration of technology, governance, and the human element. I am dedicated to building future ready organizations that are sustainable, compliant, and high-performing As I evolve into the next phase of my career, my focus is on adding value as a Strategic Advisor and Board Member. I bring a deep understanding of the full Employee Life Cycle, digital HR transformation, and the cultural shifts required to thrive in an ever evolving global landscape.
