About

Hi, I’m Shikha Rao - an HR professional with 5+ years of experience across Talent Acquisition, Employee Relations, and HR Business Partnering. I’ve evolved from hands-on recruitment to partnering with business teams to build people-first practices and drive a positive, high-performing work culture. I bring experience across the end-to-end employee lifecycle — from hiring and onboarding to engagement, performance management, grievance handling, and retention. I’ve led high-volume hiring drives and supported leadership with data-backed people decisions, always balancing employee experience with business goals. I’m particularly interested in Learning & Development and enjoy contributing to initiatives that support employee growth and capability building. Alongside my core HR role, I engage with a growing community of professionals and have supported individuals in improving communication skills and preparing for interviews through virtual and in-person sessions. I’m always open to meaningful conversations around HR, people, and growth.
