In my journey from hospitality to sales to HR, I channel my inner Steve Jobs: 'Stay hungry stay foolish'. Let's challenge the norms.Fueled by this mantra I have been in continuous learning mode and super curious human being. I question and then find answers to them as well. During Covid I got the opportunity to move into HR as a recruiter and that too technical recruiter. It was difficult but in the first month itself my founder saw my potential and my work and I was promoted to full time employee with a salary hikeCurrently working with a Y Combinator backed startup I have had the opportunity to see the breadth of HR handling not only recruitment but also hr generalist activities + payroll and compliances and now business partnering. It’s been a roller coaster ride, with its own set of challenges. Till date I have scaled the team from 12-60 members, while handling other aspects of HR. I also had nearly 8 yrs of experience in Sales and started with one of the biggest hospitality brands in the world, The Taj Mahal Palace & Towers and over the journey have worked in service selling and product selling both. Beyond corporate realms, entrepreneurship beckoned. I have successfully ran my own brand Nivva Rustic Indian Cafe for 2 years generated an average revenue of 2.5L per month. While the journey was very hard but very satisfying at the same time. If you're seeking an HR disruptor ready to script the next saga of Human Resources—one marked by innovation, impact, and unwavering excellence—let's connect always open to connect and explore synergies. Additionally in the spirit of giving back to the community I am doing some free resume reviews.
