Nishant Gokhale — Head of Talent
I’m a Talent Acquisition Support Manager with a background in HR operations, analytics, onboarding, vendor management, and audit coordination. I hold an MBA in HR and Marketing from Oriental School of Business, and I’ve worked with organizations like Hexaware Technologies, PeopleStrong, and TIAA. These experiences helped me build a strong foundation in managing recruitment processes and supporting cross-functional teams. Based in Mumbai, I enjoy reading books 📚, following geopolitical news 🌍, and staying active through football ⚽ and cricket 🏏. My focus is on building efficient systems that support hiring goals and improve collaboration across teams. Since May 2024, I’ve been working at IDFC FIRST Bank, a leading private sector bank headquartered in Mumbai. The bank was formed through the merger of IDFC Bank and Capital First in 2018 and now serves over 35 million customers across India. It operates more than 1,000 branches and offers services in retail, MSME, rural, startup, and corporate banking. Known for its customer-first approach and transparent practices, the bank has waived fees on 36 essential savings account services. It also supports social initiatives like financing sanitation and women-led businesses. IDFC FIRST Bank hires across functions including technology, compliance, operations, analytics, and relationship management, offering professionals opportunities to work on digital platforms and contribute to business growth. In my current role, I support hiring operations by coordinating with internal teams and vendors to ensure smooth recruitment workflows. I manage documentation, track hiring metrics, and assist in onboarding processes to enhance candidate experience. I also contribute to HR audits and analytics that help refine hiring strategies. My goal is to support the bank’s talent acquisition efforts by aligning recruitment with business needs and maintaining compliance across all stages. I’m currently hiring for roles that support operational and strategic functions, helping build teams that reflect the organization’s values and long-term goals.
