नमस्ते  ·  I build the invisible architecture of people & culture

Not another HR leader.
I'm the human
who rewires systems.

In Nepal's factories, boardrooms, and remote sales vans — I design retention that works, training that sticks, and policies that don't collect dust.
Currently: Head of HR · 3 factories · 600+ people · nationwide sales team.

Are we scaling & celebrating people,
or just managing them?

I've chosen the former. Always.

I've worked on the things that quietly determine whether an organization thrives or stagnates — retention, real skills development for a field sales team, succession pipelines that actually surface young talent, and learning paths that outlast any single training session.

I'm not interested in HR that exists on paper. I'm interested in the kind that shows up in how people talk about their workplace three years after joining.

That's what I build.
