About

From Being a foodie and aspiring to become a professional chef and completing graduation in Culinary arts to transitioning into HR, my life took a 360 turn. After graduating with a degree in culinary arts, and interning at the top Hotels in the world, I was parallelly exposed to the HR world too, which was my true calling. I quickly transitioned and began my corporate stint with Maven Workforce as a Recruiter and then moved to Wolves which further gave me a platform to grow massively. This is where the real work began, I was tasked with solving building the engineering teams for organisations that were trying to revolutionise the respective industries. Gradually I worked with different clients ranging from startups to big fours to MNC'S to GIC'S and worked on different roles and diverse businesses.
