About

Strategic and people-first HR Leader with 20 years of global experience across leading organizations, including TCS, Newgen Software, and Ingenuity Gaming. I’ve held pivotal roles as HR Head, Recruitment & Resource Management Leader, Compliance Head, and Strategic HR Business Partner — successfully steering people strategy across India, Southeast Asia and South America. Throughout my journey, I’ve built high-performing HR teams that empower business growth while championing inclusive, values-driven cultures. I take pride in designing scalable talent ecosystems that align with long-term business goals — whether through innovative hiring models, culture transformation, CSR initiatives, or performance frameworks that truly motivate. Recognized for a collaborative mindset, deep stakeholder alignment, and an ability to translate business needs into actionable, people-centric strategies. My core strengths lie in leadership hiring, global resource planning, talent engagement, organizational development, and cultural integration. Currently based in Noida, I’m a lifelong learner and travel enthusiast who believes growth is a journey — both personal and professional. Outside work, you’ll find me reading, riding horse, or spending time with my family — my biggest inspiration and support system.
