I have a strong knack for identifying and sourcing the right talent, and a consistent record of delivering impactful results. I’m deeply interested in moving into a more strategic HR space, and I approach my work with a focus on streamlining and optimizing processes for better outcomes in the future. While I’m future-oriented, I believe in learning from both the past and the present to make informed, effective decisions. In addition to my work in HR and talent acquisition, I am also passionate about the field of UI/UX design. I am currently expanding my knowledge and skills in this area and am eager to apply my understanding of human behavior and human resource management to enhance employee user experiences. I hold a Master's degree in Industrial & Organizational Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, both from Savitribai Phule Pune University. These degrees have provided me with a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology, as well as the skills necessary to apply these concepts in a business context. If you are looking for a dynamic and results-oriented HR and talent acquisition professional with a passion for UI/UX design, I would love to connect with you.
