• Grew the Certify team from 100 to over 300 in 8 countries. Partnered with the SVP of Engineering and Product to establish technology teams in India from the ground up (3x growth in team size). Implemented the Talent & People stack from scratch: Lever + Rippling + Lattice + Checkr + EORs + Plum
• Built a Talent and People team from two members to six. Helped the team significantly improve time to hire, increase the offer-to-joining ratio, boost ENPS, reduce regrettable attrition, and benchmark talent density through the 9-box.
• Other highlights: Certify achieved 3x revenue growth, raised Series B funding, and significantly reduced the burn rate multiple.

• Built Atlan (along with founders, leaders and team members) from its product-market fit days to series C (valued northwards of half a billion dollars). We went from zero in revenue to a multi-million dollar business in the last 4 years.
• I was leading the talent, people, and program management teams comprising of 15 members (recruiting leaders, people ops, program managers, talent partners, and recruiters) across the three regions - the US, India, and Europe. Build the Atlan team from scratch from 30 to 350 members across 12+ countries.

• The Founders of SocialCops were teaming up again to build Atlan (a Home for data teams), and I was offered a seat in the rocket ship. Why would I deny space travel? p.s: I did check the fuel tank before hopping on :)
• My mission is to identify and match the edgy, creative, and strategic talent with the right opportunities at Atlan. Beyond hiring, I am heavily involved in working with Founders & other leaders in defining and executing the right “strategy” to build and maintain our culture and team processes.

• As one of the team's initial hires, I kick-started the Talent vertical at SocialCops and navigated the process of growing us from the startup phase to the scale-up phase.
• For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to say “Avengers Assemble”, and I got to live that lifelong dream by bringing together a team of product engineers, marketers, designers, data scientists, economists, policy enthusiasts….etc., under the same roof : ) Believe me, the chaos was real.
• I partnered with the founders in scaling the team from 15 to almost 90 and provided strategic direction and thought leadership on every aspect of Talent, People Operations & Culture.
• Designed, broke & re-designed hiring workflows, successful recruiting plans, performance management systems, referral programs, social media marketing initiatives, internships & Campus hiring.
• Drop a note on LinkedIn to learn more about my experience at SocialCops.

• Ishi is a software services and product engineering firm with offices in the US, Switzerland and India. Our primary focus is creating managed solutions and products that leverage high-performance computing, big data and analytics.
• I was convinced at Ishi that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. I worked with some great recruitment minds and learned the secrets of the game called "Hiring" :)
• I was one of the key organisers of the Ahmedabad Java meetup group. Headed Google I/O 2015 in Ahmedabad at Ishi.
• PS: I also hired some awesome people for the Team :)
