9+ years transforming how organisations find, attract, and retain world-class talent. Operating at the intersection of human potential and business strategy — scaling teams across India, the US, and the UK.
I'm Manish — a Talent Acquisition leader and HR Business Partner based in Vadodara, Gujarat, India, with nearly a decade of experience scaling engineering, product, AI, and fintech teams for some of the world's most ambitious organisations.
My career began in full-cycle recruiting at Collabera, where I learned to thrive under pressure and close the roles others couldn't. Over the years, I've evolved into a strategic partner who sits alongside engineering VPs, product heads, and founders — helping them build cultures, not just headcounts.
What drives me is the belief that the right hire can change everything. I lead with data, source with intent, and close with conviction.
Outside the world of talent acquisition, I'm someone who genuinely loves people — their stories, their ambitions, and what makes them tick.
I grew up with a deep appreciation for learning — a sociology background that taught me to understand systems, communities, and human behaviour from first principles.
I'm passionate about the AI revolution reshaping how we work, and I spend a lot of personal time experimenting with AI tools, building workflows, and reading about the future of work.
Whether you're looking to collaborate, discuss talent strategy, or simply connect — I'd love to hear from you.
