About

I’m a strategic HR professional with 15+ years of experience shaping people-first cultures, building high-performing teams, and aligning HR strategies to business goals. At EC Group, I’ve had the privilege of leading award-winning initiatives – from driving our Great Place to Work certification to designing an engaging 100-day wellness challenge, implementing a company-wide HRMS rollout, and launching AI/ML upskilling programs. I bring a blend of analytical thinking, empathy, and creative execution to every initiative – whether it’s enhancing the onboarding experience, creating a recognition platform (EC Kudos), training NGOs on PoSH, or mentoring future professionals. What drives me? Creating workplaces where people feel seen, valued, and inspired. Also an active speaker and community contributor – I’ve conducted seminars, mentored students, and led impactful CSR projects in education and health.
