My Journey While Moving Ahead In My
Career:
With over eight years of experience in Human Resources,
Learning & Development and core Operations, and Bengaluru born, I majored
in Hospitality Management as the dynamism of the sector excited me. My
career in the hospitality segment commenced as a Corporate Leadership Trainee
with Hyatt, specializing in Food & Beverage Service.
Having gained thorough exposure across the Hotel
Business and Operations, and spanning all portfolio of Restaurant Management, I
further took over Divisional Training, where People, Talent & Development
dawned upon as my true calling. I further moved onto Hilton to handle
Learning & Development, where I drove talent and culture for the hotel. I
joined the Marriott family in 2017 as the Training Manager for JW Marriott
Mumbai Juhu, where I forayed back to Luxury and further took on an enhanced
domain of Quality & Training Manager. I have been an aspirant to expand my
portfolio to core Human Resources Management, and thereby joined Courtyard by
Marriott Chennai to head the People & Culture function as the Human
Resources Manager for the hotel.
I have contributed to and championed several
initiatives in my Human Resources tenure, spanning across Change & Quality
Management, Driving Innovation & Culture, Talent Acquisition & Youth
Development, Talent Management & Learning and Employer Branding. I have
been a recipient of the APEC Training Leader of the Year 2017 Award with
Marriott International and People Matters Are You in the List 2019
Emerging HR Leaders Award Winner.
My key priority is to prepare the talent for the
future and thus look forward to enable the talent with skills and competencies
that will help them be more ready for the dynamic road ahead.
Challenges Faced:
The challenges have been difficult, yet enriching
through my career. The industry is extremely competitive and it requires a
great amount of passion and perseverance to excel and make one’s mark. I have
always believed in standing up for the right cause and backing my actions and
decisions with logic, empathy and rationale. The element of Innovation and
Risk-Taking has always been a driving factor.
Words Of Wisdom To Restart Your Career:
Never shy away from speaking your heart out. Fight
for what you believe in. Put the best that you have at the table, and demand
what you deserve, there's no stopping you!
