ABOUT AKSHITA GARG
I\'ve built my career around people, performance, and trust. The question I keep coming back to? How do you help talented folks deliver their best work consistently—especially when things get tough? I\'ve learned over time it\'s almost never the perks package or the policy manual. What actually matters: being clear, showing respect, getting the basics right. Every. Single. Day.My background spans recruiting, people ops, and building culture at fast-moving tech companies. I\'ve been fortunate to work alongside leaders who genuinely care about hiring well (not just hiring fast), and that taught me how to design recruiting processes that move quickly while still using good judgment. We never treat candidates like resume robots.A big turning point? I took time away from work to deal with health issues. That break completely rewired my thinking about ambition and what\'s truly sustainable over a career. It hammered home something crucial—high performance and treating people well aren\'t opposing ideas. They actually depend on each other. When I came back, I approached HR differently. Calmer. Better perspective. More interested in understanding what actually drives people beyond just their LinkedIn profile.These days I\'m focused on building small, tight teams. The kind where everyone\'s crystal clear on what they own, where communication happens honestly (even when it\'s uncomfortable), and where we hire people not just for expertise but for how they actually think and work alongside others. I especially love bringing on people who thrive in messy situations—engineers, analysts, problem-solvers who appreciate rigor and autonomy. Who don\'t need constant hand-holding.Here\'s what I\'ve learned about HR: it\'s not about being everyone\'s best friend. But it\'s definitely not about micromanaging or wielding control, either. It\'s about fairness, transparency, and genuinely caring whether things work or fall apart. When you get it right, HR creates the conditions for great work—then steps aside.Always happy to grab coffee and talk about talent strategy, people operations, or what it actually takes to build teams that stick around for the long haul.
