Manager - Talent Acquisition and HRBP @ ZEE - Technology & Innovation

About

I am a Talent Acquisition & HR Business Partnering professional with 11+ years of experience building high-performing tech, business, and analytics teams across Technology, Banking, FinTech, Shared Services, and Media/OTT environments. Currently at ZEE Tech (Zee5 OTT), I lead niche hiring delivery across Backend, Full Stack, Cloud, Cyber Security, AI, and Product roles while supporting Engineering teams as HRBP. I’ve driven measurable impact including a 35% reduction in TAT, 60% reduction in cost-per-hire, 30% increase in diversity hiring, and 90% hiring manager satisfaction — enabled through analytics, automation, pipeline sourcing, and process optimisation. I’m passionate about TA transformation, workforce planning, leadership hiring, talent analytics, employee engagement, and stakeholder partnership — combining execution excellence with strategic people insight to support organisational growth.
