About

I build HR that scales — aligning people, performance, and productivity with business strategy. At Reliance Consumer Products Ltd. (RCPL), I lead HR Strategy for the Beverages business, partnering across Sales, Commercial, Supply Chain, Marketing & Finance to drive workforce design, capability building, and people integration for scale. From managing Sales HR to shaping org strategy and M&A integration, my focus is on designing agile structures and high-performance cultures that fuel growth. With an engineering base and an MBA from SCMHRD, I bring data-driven clarity to people strategy — delivering impact where business meets human potential.
