Tarishi Paul — Head of Talent

I work at the intersection of Talent Acquisition and People Strategy, with an academic foundation in Human Resource Management (MBA) and Sociology (MA) shaping how I approach organizational behavior, workplace culture, and the people systems that enable sustainable growth. At Xempla, I lead initiatives across tech and product hiring, talent development, and employee experience, partnering with leadership to translate growth plans into structured hiring strategies and scalable people processes. Key Initiatives: • Lead end-to-end tech and product hiring, designing differentiated hiring strategies based on role complexity, experience level, and team requirements to ensure both capability and long-term team fit. • Develop cultural alignment frameworks within the hiring process, using structured behavioral evaluation to ensure talent integrates with the organization’s working style, pace, and collaboration standards. • Contribute to HR policy design and people operations, including frameworks around leave management and payroll processes, strengthening operational clarity as teams scale. • Established and manage the quarterly recognition program, designed not only to celebrate performance but to reinforce the behaviours and standards the organization aims to cultivate over the long term. • Drive employee engagement and development initiatives, including learning programs and an internal career newsletter highlighting growth opportunities and professional development. • Lead structured exit conversations, translating employee insights into inputs that help refine people policies, leadership practices, and overall organizational effectiveness. Earlier Experience – Himalaya Wellness (MNC): • Managed EPFO compliance and HR policy implementation across multiple business units in the East region. • Contributed to regional hiring initiatives and workforce programs within a large MNC environment. • Oversaw employee lifecycle processes including exit management, gaining exposure to HR operations at scale. Focus Areas: Talent Acquisition • Tech & Product /Growth Hiring • Recruitment Strategy • HR Policy & Compliance • Talent Management • People Operations • Employee Experience I’m particularly interested in building hiring systems and people frameworks that enable organizations to grow with strong, aligned, and high-performing teams !
