About

I am a Talent Acquisition professional currently working at D. E. Shaw India Private Limited, where I have progressed from a Human Capital summer intern to TA Specialist and now Senior Specialist, gaining hands-on experience across the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle and contributing to impactful hiring initiatives. During my internship, I worked on benchmarking candidate experience in the lateral hiring process, interviewed recruiters, candidates, and industry leaders to identify pain points, and designed interventions to improve engagement and streamline the hiring journey. This included devising an 11-step plan to improve candidate communication, ideating a post-offer engagement process, and designing pre-joining goodies tailored to different hiring levels and budgets. With a foundation in technology and growing expertise in talent strategy, I bring hands-on experience in Talent Acquisition, sourcing, delivery management, stakeholder management, project management, people management, and strategic decision-making. I approach every opportunity with strong analytical ability, critical thinking, time management, and persuasive communication skills. I thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy building structure and scalable processes, and am motivated by opportunities to create meaningful impact through hiring. I am particularly passionate about building high-performing teams from scratch, partnering closely with stakeholders, and driving talent strategies that balance business needs with candidate experience. If you would like to connect, collaborate, or explore synergies, feel free to reach out.
