About

I am passionate about technology and leadership hiring. Built teams from scratch and scaled it. I am known for building teams from scratch (PayTM, Magnitude, Flipkart), high conversion ratio from sourcing to offer to joinee. Niche hiring across product & engineering. My Recruiting Philosophy: Purposeful Connections, Lasting Impact. I am a recruiter who leads with integrity and a deep respect for the people I work with. My introverted nature is my greatest asset, allowing me to move beyond the noise and focus on what truly matters: making the right connections for the right reasons. Specialties: Tech hiring, Product hiring, Leadership hiring, Niche hiring, Social media hiring. Practicing unconventional sourcing for a better reach. With both Agency and corporate background I am leveraging my knowledge to reach out to the Engineering Leaders. “Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can’t tell you whether someone will fit into a company’s culture.” – Howard Schultz
