About

I work with founders and leadership teams when senior hiring is a business risk, not an HR task. Across Arthan, Step Beta, and Scrabble, I’ve hired senior leaders in environments where: Roles were unclear stakes were high and the cost of a wrong hire showed up in runway, funding, or governance At Scrabble, I closed ₹50L+ in search revenue, working directly with founders and CFOs on senior finance and CXO-1 roles — including hiring first finance leaders for early-stage startups where nothing existed except pressure and urgency. At Step Beta, I ran retained-style leadership searches while simultaneously handling non-profit consulting projects — from large-scale perception research on plastic usage to communication and marketing strategy for NGOs. This required judgment, context-switching, and the ability to deliver without over-instruction. At Arthan, I worked on mission-critical leadership hiring for large NGOs and social impact organisations, where leadership failure affected donor trust, boards, and long-term outcomes. I managed complex stakeholder environments, built long-term relationships, and mentored junior recruiters in high-context searches.
