About

Biology → HR wasn’t the plan, but it turned out to be the right move. I’m a recent MBA HRM graduate from MDI Gurgaon with around 2 years of experience in Talent Acquisition. After a stint in consulting during my summer internship, I’m now starting my journey in that space full-time. Still figuring things out, asking questions, and learning along the way. Always open to good conversations and new perspectives. If this resonates, feel free to connect.
