About

I am an HR professional with 9+ years of experience in employee relations, compliance, performance management, and HR policy development. Currently at IPL Company, a founder-driven startup, I have built HR processes and policies from scratch, ensuring statutory compliance and a seamless employee experience. Key achievements include: Designing and implementing POSH eLearning modules and forming the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC). Creating and enforcing HR policies, offer letters, intranet resources, and compliance trackers covering PF, ESI, PT, Zero Tolerance, and more. Leading onboarding, offboarding, and HR documentation processes, standardizing HR operations across the organization. I thrive in fast-paced, high-responsibility environments and enjoy building structured HR systems that empower both leadership and employees. I am passionate about transforming HR into a strategic function that drives organizational growth while maintaining fairness, transparency, and compliance.
