Some notable projects include from piloting new platforms like ServiceNow to reimagine onboarding, reimagining mobility (global & domestic), and demystifying employee sentiment at scale. I am excited to see how technology in HR can add business value at scale for employees within the org,
Before Nestlé, I led Internal Communications at Times Internet, where I shaped narrative-driven campaigns to brand HR initiatives, boost adoption, and make employee experiences more intuitive and engaging. I also owned the design and execution of company-wide engagement events — including flagship programs like Hack & Hustle the Times Internet Hackathon, while collaborating closely with HR CoEs and the CEO’s office to bring culture and strategy to life.
Earlier in my career, I worked across the HR value chain in fast-paced environments like LocoNav and Grofers (now Blinkit), driving initiatives in org development, talent management, L&D, HR tech, and special projects. I started my journey as a software engineer at IBM, giving me a strong technical foundation that continues to shape how I approach scalable people solutions.
