Global HR Leader · India
I have run HR at Fortune 500 companies, a NASDAQ-listed manufacturer, family-owned industrial groups and early-stage startups, in India and DR Congo. I work across org design, hiring, HR systems and industrial relations.
I'm open to leadership and advisory conversations
I founded Omnicom Media Group's Ad-Tech, Mar-Tech and Retail Media capability centre in Bengaluru and grew it to 250 people across engineering, analytics, forecasting, customer operations and reporting. I designed the org, built the hiring engine, recruited the leadership bench and set the culture.
I rolled out SAP SuccessFactors across India, developed an HRIS in-house and set up payroll analytics and Power BI dashboards. At Ocean Sparkle I consolidated payroll for four manpower categories, each under different labour law, then took it through pre-IPO and pre-merger audit.
At Omnicom I ran the culture programme behind the highest employee Trust Score in the organisation, which fed into its Great Place to Work certification. At OSI Systems I merged three subsidiaries in three different businesses onto one HR framework. I held attrition between 15 and 18%. I have been a certified PoSH trainer for twelve years.
I coach business managers and advise the leaders they report to. I have hired CXOs, a CTO and founding teams for businesses that did not exist yet, and reported into boards and global leadership inside matrix structures. At Shahi Exports I negotiated with agitating labour groups and restarted a plant within hours of a twenty-hour halt.
Built a GCC from 0 to 250.
One culture across three subsidiaries.
Automated HR through a pre-IPO audit.
Stood up HR in Central Africa.
