About

With over 12 years in Talent Acquisition and Recruitment Delivery, I have built a career around one core skill - connecting the right talent to the right opportunity at scale and on time. As an Account and Delivery Manager, I have partnered with some of India's most demanding clients — Goldman Sachs, Samsung R&D, IBM Labs, Cyient, SKF, and ThoughtWorks, managing end-to-end hiring mandates across IT, Ecommerce, Banking and Product domains. I have led cross functional teams of up to 8 recruiters, driven annual revenue of INR 85–90 Lakhs, and consistently delivered against SLAs across permanent and Contract-to-Hire (C2H) hiring models. What sets me apart is my ability to operate at the intersection of client management and recruitment delivery. I am equally comfortable sitting in a strategic business review with a CXO as I am diving into sourcing strategy with my team. I bring deep expertise in talent pipeline management, headcount planning, offer negotiation, vendor management (45+ vendors), and multi-channel sourcing across Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, Bullhorn, Workday, and Greenhouse. Currently, as TA Account Manager at Shell InfoTech, I manage four key accounts — Cyient, SKF, ThoughtWorks, and FPT - leading a team of 8 recruiters to deliver quality hires within agreed timelines and SLAs. I am open to senior opportunities in Talent Acquisition Leadership, Account Management or Recruitment Delivery in Bangalore. If you are looking for someone who owns delivery end-to-end and treats your hiring goals as their own — let's connect.
