I'm a people-first Talent Acquisition Specialist with 3+ years of experience in end-to-end recruitment, Pan India hiring, and startup team building. I’ve worked closely with founders, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to hire fast, smart, and at scale. My strengths lie in sourcing, stakeholder management, campus recruitment, team management, vendor coordination, and driving hiring strategies that align with business goals. I’m also passionate about employee engagement, grievance handling, and creating inclusive, high-performing cultures. I believe in leading with empathy, staying curious, and growing through every experience while mentoring others along the way.
