As an MBA graduate from NMIMS Mumbai, I understand how overwhelming SIPs and early career decisions can feel, especially when navigating high-growth startups and HRBP roles. In my 1 year of experience working in fast-scaling environments, I’ve gained hands-on exposure across the HR value chain in a way that traditional setups rarely offer. I’ve partnered closely with business teams, worked alongside CXOs and senior stakeholders, and contributed to building people processes from scratch, from onboarding and performance management to engagement and workforce planning. My experience also includes hiring for niche and hard-to-close roles, conducting market mapping, and aligning talent strategy with business needs. Startups demand ownership, agility, and strategic thinking from day one, and that environment has shaped how I approach HR, not as a support function, but as a growth driver.
