About

A human brain is a crazy place, and there are two things that fascinate me the most. First: The amazing collective capability of human minds. And second: the challenge of enabling talent and communities to achieve objectives and realize one’s own potential. As an International HR Practicioner and business leader, my relentless attempt and objective has always been to motivate talent, bring ideas together, influence an outcome, and also optimize and scale for future growth. Outside of work, I am an avid musician, traveler, and vlogger(traveled 15+ countries) and an enthusiastic writer(Author of the book - Open Secrets@Work). I love interacting with upcoming talent and professionals and drop in universities and professional forums as a guest lecturer. My professional forte: # Led the HR Business Partner Function and Transformation for high performing companies # Enabling and Partnering C-Suites and specialised leaders for hyper growth and talent strategy # 5 years of International Stint working as an Expat in the South East Asian Markets # 15 years of wide range in experience and expertise: Building and setting up Start-ups to expand business setups of multinational corporations globally. # Played multiple roles in the HR and business space # Led and built teams in a multi-cultural environment # Relentless contribution in top edge stalwarts like ExxonMobil, Flipkart, Honeywell, AirAsia and Infosys # A six sigma practitioner My Motto - "​"A positive and unique approach towards life is what that differentiates you.This is what I passionately follow to achieve my goals.""
