Since my university days, I’ve been “the curious one.” The kind who’d dive into business case studies for fun and get genuinely excited about learning how companies run. I started off as a proud dabbler—trying out different things just to see how they work—before gradually leaning into a more research-driven approach. One trait I’ve always had on autopilot is integrity. It once meant taking a tough call to report an ethical concern involving a senior colleague— an action that led me to step away just a couple of months into the role, after carefully considering the shift in the work environment around me. The rest of the traits? I’m working on them, one conscious step at a time. Mandéva HR is more than a business—it’s the passion project that’s been quietly growing in the back of my mind since my first job post-HR postgrad at the Tata Institute. Over the years, I’ve shaped and reshaped the model, built strategies for hiring and managing talent, found better ways to market, and made sure delivery actually delivers. I believe in a healthy mix of education, experience, and exposure—it’s what’s helped me grow far beyond what a resume might suggest. But if you’re curious (like me), feel free to check out my background and dive into the articles I write—each one explores HR topics that, I believe, can spark real change.
