Rajesh Pandian

He has sat on both sides of the hiring table: the recruiter placing people, and the HR director who was the client.

Chief of Staff, Tech and Strategy

Rajesh has spent fifteen-plus years across the full HR spectrum: talent acquisition, HR business partnering, HR director, and now strategy. He has placed hundreds of people as a recruiter (Oracle, L&T Infotech, Snapdeal) and led entire HR functions as the client (Freecharge, HealthPlix), building the Snapdeal Bengaluru tech team from zero to 300 in nine months.

That dual view, recruiter and client, is what most people in this space don’t have. It shapes how he writes about hiring, diversity and inclusion, culture and engagement, and what the full employee lifecycle actually reveals about a company.
