Founder | Career Coach | Hiring Strategist

After years of working in career development and interacting with thousands of candidates, I saw a recurring gap where companies were investing time and resources in hiring, but still missing the right talent. That’s why I founded Crossing Hurdles, a recruitment agency built to simplify hiring and elevate outcomes.

We don’t just send resumes. We solve hiring.

Our approach is simple: find the right people and bring them in - faster, better, and without the guesswork.

💼 At Crossing Hurdles, we’ve placed top-tier talent across firms. We help high-growth companies build elite teams and guide job seekers to roles that match their ambition and potential.

🎓 Career Coaching & Mentorship 
With 10+ years of experience, I’ve coached thousands of professionals and B-School grads from MIT Sloan, Harvard, NUS, Duke, Ross, and others across 20+ countries. I regularly speak as a guest lecturer at IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Kozhikode, IIFT, SP Jain, and MDI Gurgaon.

🔍 Previous Stints
I’ve held leadership and strategic roles at Snapdeal, Hewlett-Packard, Niti Aayog, CBSE, and the Corporate Executive Board, gaining cross-functional expertise in product, people, and performance.
