Mahalakshmi C

As the Regional Lead of Talent Acquisition at Code and Theory (formerly Y Media Labs), I operate at the intersection of people, strategy, and innovation—driving hiring excellence for one of the industry’s most dynamic digital product organizations. With 18+ years of experience shaping high-performing teams across fintech, cyber security, engineering, and IT, I specialize in building talent engines that scale, adapt, and accelerate business outcomes. Backed by PMBOK training and a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, I bring a data-first, process-obsessed, and human-centered philosophy to recruitment. I leverage AI/ML-powered sourcing intelligence, automation frameworks, and predictive analytics to optimize hiring accuracy, elevate decision-making, and enhance talent engagement at scale. From architecting advanced TA processes to creating branding strategies that cut through noise, my mission remains simple yet strategic: to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent that fuels digital transformation—and to strengthen the organization’s readiness for an AI-driven future.
