About

Strategic Talent Partner | Tech Hiring | Leadership Recruitment | AI-Driven Talent Acquisition I help high-growth tech companies build world-class teams through strategic, data-led, and tech-enabled hiring. With over 15 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, I’ve scaled engineering and leadership teams across domains like Cloud, Distributed Systems, AI/ML, Embedded Systems, Security, IoT, and Product Management. I have had the privilege to work with companies like Druva, Espressif Systems, Globant, CLSA, and Zenith, delivering on critical and niche hiring mandates that directly impact business growth. I specialize in: * Leadership hiring * Campus-to-senior level hiring from IITs, NITs, and BITS and others * Strategic sourcing using platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, Dribbble, and niche forums * Employer branding, interviewer enablement, and candidate experience optimization I am passionate about automation and efficiency. I continuously explore ways to work smarter using AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva, and automation features in ATS. Whether it's automating sourcing workflows, personalizing outreach, or improving recruiter productivity, I enjoy building systems that scale. I approach sourcing like a detective—always curious, persistent, and creative. I love finding hidden talent using Boolean strings, X-ray searches, and untapped communities beyond traditional platforms. Beyond recruiting, I am active on social media, especially around travel and lifestyle content. I enjoy sharing snippets from places I explore and the food I try. I thrive on mentoring recruiters, driving referrals, and building systems that scale. And yes, I am still that talkative, creative soul who loves classical dance, local food trails, and nurturing a balcony full of plants 🌿.
