About

I am a Recruitment Lead and Human Capital professional with 7 years of experience across Talent Acquisition and HR Operations, specializing in both Tech and Non-Tech hiring. Over the years, I have led end-to-end recruitment strategies, managed teams, collaborated closely with stakeholders, contributed to workforce planning, and played an active role in supporting overall organizational growth. Recently joined Brave, where I am currently handling recruitment responsibilities and continuing to strengthen my expertise in talent acquisition and people strategy. Previously, at RD Solutions India as a Human Capital Specialist, I supported the company’s human capital strategy and operations by driving employee experience initiatives, recruitment, managing multiple clients, and organizing knowledge programs. I focused on enhancing employee experience, fostering a culture of learning and innovation, and contributing to the growth and success of both the organization and its clients. My professional journey also includes working as a Senior Member of the Talent Acquisition Group at OutworX Corporation and serving as Lead HR, where I gained extensive experience in talent acquisition, stakeholder management, team leadership, and HR operations. With a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Delhi (North Campus), I bring a unique blend of psychological understanding and HR expertise. I am passionate about applying behavioral insights to the human capital domain, creating meaningful workplace experiences, and building high-performing teams that drive long-term organizational success.
