About

A highly motivated economics graduate with a strong passion for Human Capital and Talent Management. Over the past four years, I’ve built a versatile career spanning leadership hiring, candidate onboarding, and global stakeholder management. I began by partnering with clients across industries such as B2C E-commerce, FMCG, Management Consulting, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Fashion Supply Chain, and Advertising Services—helping them build strong leadership pipelines by sourcing and placing experienced C-suite professionals. These early years gave me a unique opportunity to work with organizations and leaders across India, the USA, UK, Middle East, and APAC. I developed a strong eye for process efficiency and became deeply invested in creating structured, scalable talent solutions. Today, I work at the D. E. Shaw group, where I collaborate with global teams to ensure seamless onboarding for candidates across the US, UK, Luxembourg, and APAC offices. I specialize in background and investigative checks, ensuring adherence to compliance standards and regional regulations. My experience has shaped my focus on optimizing workflows, reducing redundancies, and constantly seeking opportunities for improvement.
