About me

My mission is to help people grow! I help people unlock their full potential through the power of coaching. With nearly 15 years of experience across Industries in HR and Engineering roles, I have had the privilege of shaping the careers of 1000s of people across organizations as an adviser, guide, mentor, coach, and buddy. I can help you discover, unlock, and reach your potential. ☎️ Book a call to reach out to me. An engineer by chance, a full-stack HR practitioner by choice, and a coach by calling, I have spent nearly 15 years across information technology, professional services, SaaS products, and deep-tech/electric vehicle R&D and manufacturing industries across 0-1 & 1-10 growth phases, and scale phases. During this time, I played various roles across recruiting, HR business partnering, HR strategy and analytics, organizational design, change, leadership development, employer brand, culture, and coaching for senior leaders & and CXOs. In my previous role at Log9, as Chief People Officer, I was responsible for articulating and executing the people's vision, values, and culture code and for heading all HR functions of the company. My role involved scaling Log9 3x, from 95 people to 300+, 2 to 6 offices, building a compelling employer brand (Glassdoor: 4.5), building people philosophies around culture, growth, rewards, and launching industry-first people programs across R&D, manufacturing, and sales & operations functions. Before Log9, I led the global people agenda for Technology teams at InMobi based out of India, the US, and China, and worked closely with the CTO and the technology leadership team. I steered people initiatives like enhanced workforce planning, fostering a culture of pride, and enabling career growth. Before InMobi, I led HR for India product & and engineering units of SAP SuccessFactors and Digital Supply Chain with a combined size of ~1500 people and partnered with 20+ Senior business leaders. I was also engaged in multiple regional and global programs in SAP. E.g. I anchored the ‘Talent Agility' program which was focused on enhancing the career development of young engineers at SAP India. I joined SAP from Deloitte, where I was supporting the Offices of the US Chairman, CEO, Risk, and Global as an HR Business Partner and was managing pan-India HR projects. I have also worked with organizations such as Cognizant, Wipro, and Microsoft in different capacities. I won the NHRDN Young HR Leader award in 2016, hold the SHRM-CP® and iGNLP™ Certified NLP Practitioner certification, and like to read about the latest trends in HR. I love storytelling and speak frequently in various internal and external forums such as PeopleMatters and Great Place to Work. I have also facilitated guest lectures and sessions for various institutes like XLRI and IIM-Ranchi. I've done my MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur, and engineering from BIT Mesra, Ranchi. I love to read, mentor professionals, play with dogs, and music, and engage in fitness during my free time.
