Highly skilled in Business Development, Operations Management, Consulting and Key Account Management with respect to Recruitment as a profession. I built high level credibility not only within my organisation, but in customer experience as well. My customers included not just clients, but senior candidates as well, who in turn at some point became clients for us! I have had the opportunity to recruit Mid to senior level management professionals across Consumer Goods, FMCG & Building Material Industry for 6+ years and my journey has been a mix of highs- professionally and personally. Working my way up the career ladder, embracing motherhood with my first born, getting back to full time work for few years and becoming a mother for my second born. Post Covid, I have taken a step back professionally, to manage and raise my two children, full time! My life stages have taught me to be a good leader, assertive, collaborative team player, enterprising, resilient, decision maker. A “Driver personality”, I cherish my highs and lows professionally for they helped me build myself into who I am today. I also had the privilege of participating in Mrs India Inc. 2023 and securing top 25 position. Mrs. India provided me a different kind of transformation journey, and helped me build a different perspective of this world and the opportunities that lie ahead of us.
