  • My current job since February 2015

My brief background is:

(a) An XLRI Jamshedpur alumni and with strong experience in IT, ITES, manufacturing, EPC and Engg industries.

(b) Worked in Europe for 4 years (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Estonia, and India) as the Global Head of Human Resources for Winwind Group, a Finnish windpower MNC. This unique role helped me travel the world, get truly exposed to the working cultures globally, and handle international HR hands-on.

I therefore bring to the table, a strong combination of business and HR acumen, high energy levels, the best communication skills, experience, and a very strong desire to excel
