Ask Me Anything - 30 Minutes with

Whatever doesn't fit the mold: Get 30 minutes with a mentor to discuss your needs. Be it help with some code, discussing through an issue with your business, help for something at work or an issue with a project.

Hey! I'm Ankita. I'm a Senior HR Business Partner at AWS, where I spend my days partnering with VPs and engineering leaders to solve messy, real-world people problems across EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Over the past 13+ years, I've done a bit of everything: scaled teams across countries, designed workforce strategies for global orgs, built leadership programs from scratch, and figured out how to make HR actually matter at the table. It hasn't always been a straight path, and I think that's what makes me a better mentor. I also host the HR Bandit Podcast, I've been named an SHRM India Top 50 HR Influencer, and I co-chair the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland HR Director Forum. I love talking about this stuff, whether it's on stage or one-on-one.

**Here's where I can help you:**
- You're an HR professional looking to break into tech or level up from tactical to strategic
- You're a tech or business leader managing a large team and want a thought partner on people challenges, org design, or navigating change
- You're stepping into people management for the first time and want to get it right from day one
- You want to build your personal brand, grow your visibility, and become a recognized voice in your space

I'm structured, direct, and I'll push you. Expect clear frameworks, honest feedback, and real examples from my own career. No fluff, just action.
