About

"HR by profession but an Engineer at heart" Hiring isn’t just a function—it’s an ecosystem. As Head of Tech Recruitment for MSCI India, I’ve had the privilege of building and scaling tech talent across Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru. From growing our Mumbai office into a powerhouse, to launching our Pune and Bengaluru hubs from scratch—this journey has been equal parts grit, data, and empathy. I lead a team of exceptional tech recruiters who don’t just fill roles—we shape teams that shape technology. We hire for everything from core engineering and infrastructure to data science and quant. And we do it effectively, efficiently, and globally aligned. Beyond India, I wear multiple global hats: -Global Lead for Data Governance in TA (yes, clean data makes or breaks recruiting) -Owner of the Tech Assessment Platform, ensuring smart, fair, and scalable evaluations -Relationship Manager for the global Technology function, acting as the bridge between talent and tech leadership Oh—and I recently led our global ATS migration. Because recruiting systems should work for humans, not the other way around. I thrive in the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and scale. Whether you're building trading systems, cloud infra, AI products, or next-gen marketplaces—I know how to find and grow the people who'll build it.
