Profile+ Summary


Dedicated Talent Acquisition leader with extensive experience and progressive growth in directing all aspects of recruiting and demonstrate direct communication and relationship building qualities. So ... lid expertise in providing independent, hands-on leadership to facilitate business growth, strategic market analysis, talent management, key account management, and financial administration initiatives.
Ramped up teams, Hired the best Leadership talent, lot of campus stints, Coaching and Mentoring teams inside and outside the organization has made me an overall leader and helped me achieve my career goals and learn from my experiences.
Apart from work, help in CSR activities through organizations like helping them read, donate, paint the school library, spend time reading with kids, help in orphanages etc. This gives satisfaction that you are giving back to the society.

Being single is not easy, managing finances, staying alone especially during lock down last 2 years, keeping yourself motivated, being sane, happy and content. Have been through a lot of challenges but come back achieving or learning from each of these experiences and been an overall wholesome woman.

Adventure, Travel, Meeting friends has always been a forte and I push the limit to the edge always and being a solo traveler most of the time its tested my strength, endurance, and given me balance in life. My travel experiences especially to the mountains have taught me life lessons that "that we are nothing in front of those tall mountains and there is always so much to learn and achieve"
My solo trek to Annapurna Base camp and a few Himalayan ranges Leh & Ladak, Valley of Flowers have always been close to my heart. Recent ones to Avalabetta, Nandi Hills, Savan durga has helped me realise "Keep Walking" in the right path- no matter what. World doesnt stop, why should you?
