About

I am a business-aligned HR and Talent leader with 14+ years of experience building workforce strategies that enable organizations to scale predictably. I have led pan-India hiring, workforce planning, HR operations, and talent analytics across high-growth environments in Tech, Product, Manufacturing, EV, Operations, and Social Impact sectors. My strength lies in translating business goals into people strategies — improving hiring speed, optimizing resource utilization, strengthening employee lifecycle practices, and building teams that deliver results. I bring deep expertise in Tech and Product hiring, along with large-scale operations and field workforce deployment, having built TA and HR systems from scratch, managed multi-location teams, optimized vendor ecosystems, and partnered with leadership to improve productivity and retention. Currently, I am the Senior Human Resources Manager at Haqdarshak where I lead project resource management and pan-India hiring supported by data-driven workforce planning.
