About

With 11+ years in Talent Acquisition, I’m a strategic senior hiring leader specializing in building high-performing teams for SaaS, FinTech, and Product companies — from early-stage startups to global tech organizations. Currently, I lead recruitment at The Rec Hub, a global embedded talent partner that supports high-growth companies with scalable hiring solutions. I work closely with partners like Thoughtworks, Tide, and others — collaborating with global stakeholders from the US, UK, India, and beyond to align talent strategies with business goals. Previously, I’ve driven talent growth at fast-scaling startups such as Byju’s (EdTech Unicorn), Twid (FinTech), and SpotOn Transact LLC (Payments, US) — owning end-to-end hiring across engineering, product, data, design, and business roles. From 0→10 to enterprise-level scale, I bring a sharp focus on leadership and niche hiring. 🔹 What I bring: *Strategic, data-driven approach to global hiring *Deep expertise in technical, product, and leadership recruitment *Strong partner to founders and business leaders through all growth stages *Proven ability to scale high-impact teams across regions and functions *Focus on inclusive hiring, culture fit, and long-term team success While Talent Acquisition is my core strength, I also bring hands-on experience across broader HR functions — from HR operations to employee engagement and performance processes. Recognized as an HR Top Voice by LinkedIN and featured in Top Icons of India (Business Talkz). https://www.businesstalkz.com/2024/11/top-icons-of-india-magazine-edition-34.html I’m passionate about shaping the future of work through thoughtful, people-first hiring. Let’s connect — I’m always open to meaningful conversations about growth, talent, and building teams that make a difference. 🌍🚀
