About

For over 15 years, I have operated at the intersection of Talent, Technology, and Strategy — building recruiting organizations, systems, and operating models that enable businesses to scale with speed and precision. I currently lead Technology & Product recruiting at Salesforce across India and APAC, driving hiring strategy and execution across Software Engineering, Product Management, UX, Infrastructure, and emerging AI-native talent domains. My work increasingly focuses on the future of recruiting itself — transforming recruiting from a transactional function into an intelligence-led, AI-native operating system. This includes building scalable hiring mechanisms, leveraging talent intelligence and predictive insights, modernizing interview ecosystems, and enabling recruiters to operate as strategic business advisors rather than process coordinators. I am known for clarity of thought, operational rigor, speed of execution, and the ability to simplify complex hiring challenges into scalable systems and measurable outcomes Photography, painting, music, and gadgets on the side.
