I am an HR Business Partner with over 10 years of experience specializing in building and scaling HR functions in startup and high-growth environments, with strong 0 → 1 impact. I partner closely with founders and leadership teams to take HR from concept to structured, compliant, and people-centric execution.My core competencies include setting up HR frameworks from scratch, Policy design and Handbook creation, Employee Relations, Statutory Compliance, Compensation & Benefits, Performance Management, POSH, and end-to-end Employee Lifecycle Management. I bring a hands-on, practical approach to improving fragmented HR practices, fixing broken processes, and enabling managers to handle people matters confidently and fairly.I have led initiatives such as HR audits, payroll transitions, performance management redesigns, compliance-driven process improvements, and complex ER case management, ensuring HR delivery scales in line with business growth. My experience balances startup agility with structured governance, allowing organizations to grow without people or compliance risks.After a meaningful maternity break, I am now re-entering the workforce with renewed focus and readiness to contribute immediately. I thrive in roles that demand ownership, adaptability, and 0 → 1 HR leadership, and I am keen to partner with organizations seeking a Senior HR Business Partner who can build practical, scalable HR foundations.
