THE HR PROFESSIONAL BEHIND THE NUMBERS
End-to-end HR expertise. Proven through experience.
From plant HR and overseas contracting to greenfield pharma services and a high-growth technology business, my work spans different workforce models and business stages.
Explore leadership case studies ↗My hands-on expertise spans workforce planning, hiring up to department-head level, HR operations, payroll and benefits, PF/ESIC/PT compliance, employee relations, performance management, HR policies, HRIS implementation and people reporting.
I was the first and sole HR professional at Jasti Bio Pharma, later led a three-member HR/payroll team at Recykal, and partnered directly with MDs, Directors, a Co-Founder and department leaders.
My professional value is not one isolated HR service — it is the ability to connect the whole people function.
TWO WAYS TO PARTNER
Leadership experience. Practical execution.
I bring the perspective of an HR function builder, an operational leader and an entrepreneur — for organisations looking to grow or improve their people function.
