About

I believe the future of work demands more than policies and processes—it calls for purposeful design, strategic foresight, and bold human leadership. With over a decade of experience across manufacturing, retail, and digital-first businesses, I’ve led HR transformations that not only align with strategy but shape it. From zero-based org design and performance reinvention to building an EVP that competes in a talent-scarce market, my work sits at the intersection of culture, capability, and technology. Currently at Nykaa, I partner with business leaders to reimagine the employee experience and build systems where people thrive and deliver impact. I write, speak, and consult on themes like HR innovation, talent strategy, and leveraging technology —because I believe HR must be as dynamic as the businesses it serves. My approach blends data-driven decision-making with a deep commitment to human-centered leadership. I thrive on creating inclusive workplaces where people grow with the business. With a cross industry experience and working in different HR roles my expertise lies in the following domains 1. Business Partnering 2. Talent Acquisition 3. Learning & Development 4. Talent Management 5. Performance and Rewards 6. HR Shared Services 7. Diversity Equity and Inclusion 8. Industrial Relations 9. People Analytics 10. HR Technology
