As the HR Leader for Research & Development and science led enabling functions at Glenmark, I’m focused on empowering our 1200+ global employees to achieve the organization's mission. I partner with them in creating a culture that attracts and inspires some of the most passionate scientific talent in the generic, specialty & innovative medicines domain. Previously, in addition to leading HR for R&D and enabling functions , I was also entrusted with the responsibility of leading two COE teams in Glenmark globally - Talent Acquisition and People Success (Engagement & Recognition). I led our Employer Brand Strategy with a goal to significantly enhance Glenmark’s status as an Employer of Choice. With Glenmark People Success (Employee Engagement & Recognition), we created and sustained an environment where our people could do their best work. We continuously researched, drew insights and solved for - what makes Glenmarkians tick!

I take pride in serving a team that gets up every day thinking about how they can create extraordinary value through their relentless pursuit in ensuring high quality medicines become more accessible and affordable across the world.

Prior to Glenmark, I spent five years pursuing my entrepreneurial dreams, during this time I set up two ventures. First, a talent assessment and measurement venture for India and SAARC region - was acquired by Hay group in 2015. Second, an ahead-of-its-time online venture focused on providing career intelligence to students and professionals.

Being in the thick of two large scale global HR transformations, five complex digital transformations, early responsibility as the global head of rewards and HR operations for one of India's largest conglomerates, partnering Promoter groups/CEOs on several leadership acquisitions sums up the rest of my career.

Throughout my professional career, I have aligned HR and talent strategies to improve business performance and drive outcomes. As a leader, I believe in creating high impact by fostering trust in the team and fueling excellence. My idea of finding business solutions are - customer-inspired, data-led and holistically thought through. I am pragmatic and believe in simplicity being the ultimate sophistication.
