She was responsible for leading recruitment, training and engagement within the team and for our 600+ employees across 4 locations in India. From the moment I joined the team, Shweta was an invaluable support - we were able to drive various strategic initiatives for the group, at a challenging time (the global pandemic) thanks to her ability to run with things without needing to be shown the way or hand held constantly.

I have had the privilege of working alongside Shweta during our time at the MullenLowe Lintas Group. Shweta epitomizes the essence of a seasoned HR professional, continually elevating her expertise. She has been my go-to person for guidance and support. One of the most profound aspects of our collaboration was our engagement in the Enneagram coaching sessions. As a result of these sessions, I have garnered deeper insight into my strengths and weaknesses, which I have been able to strategically leverage to maximize my potential. I highly recommend the expertise of Shweta in facilitating Enneagram coaching sessions as a means to uncover greater self-awareness and enhanced effectiveness.

Shweta has been instrumental in helping Sajjan India Limited with appropriate communication strategies and people engagement on forums ranging from 500 to 1500 individuals when I had to address my employees in Gujarat. Furthermore, thanks to her robust network, she has connected me to specialist recruiters who have helped me hire best in class talent across functions and levels at my corporate office in Mumbai. Her key strengths lie in communication and understanding people through behavioral science tools and a long standing tenure in the corporate world of communication.

Michelle Suradkar
Group Chief Operating Officer - Quotient Ventures
I have known Shweta literally all my life, but that was on a personal level. It was not until the lock down of Covid that we had a chance to work together. I roped her in to do an Enneagram workshop for the teachers in our school and the experience was much more than any of us could have imagined. I myself was exposed to the concept for the first time through Shweta, and the potential of the tool blew me away, but the impact it had on the team was both, amazing and fulfilling to watch!
Priyanka Morarka
Trustee – R R Morarka Public School, Uttar Pradesh
I began my career as Shweta’s mentee, fresh out of college, and continued to work in her team for 4 years. She was instrumental in patiently training me and laying a strong foundation for my corporate career. Over the years, the one thing I tried learning from her, was her meticulous eye for detail and knack for perfection. Calling her goal-oriented would be an understatement. She sets very high standards for herself and her team and will have a ten-point process in place to ensure she meets each one.
Tanya Kotwal
Manager, Head of Boarding School Applications, OnCourse Vantage Pvt. Ltd.
I trusted her implicitly to drive initiatives, provide counsel and suggestions, and ensure that projects ran smoothly and without error. She is meticulous with detail and would take great care to focus on even the smallest of elements which made employee engagement activities and training programmes run flawlessly. Her attention was always with the impact of her initiatives on the end user, i.e. our employees, ensuring that their experience was curated perfectly, and that their feedback was always heard, to improve where possible.
Heather Gupta

I’ve known Shweta for over a decade and have worked with her closely on several projects. What struck me most was her enthusiasm and ability to adapt to the changes in client(me) needs. Obstacles were never overwhelming and most importantly she put her heart into what she did. We worked on several training programs - most significant of which was the programme for new joiners and interns. I believe that these programs were critical in that they set the tone for the audience for the rest of their careers with the company. It also played an important role in their retention.
Nasreen Nasser

I have known Shweta as an HR professional for close to 16 years. She is an ex-colleague from Rediff, whose professional growth has been admirable. Always a dedicated and thorough professional, she has led some ‘seriously disruptive’ initiatives in the fields of recruitment, training, and employee engagement in her career. She is also an Enneagram expert of some repute. My agency, Infectious, has recently reached out to her for some key hiring, and we have been impressed with her thoroughness and professionalism. I wish her every success as an independent consultant.
Ramanuj Shastry
Creative Chairman and Managing Partner, Infectious Advertising
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shweta twice and both times, it was an absolutely delightful experience. Shweta was part of Rediffusion Y&R's HR team when I was heading the Mumbai office and recently at Infectious, where we’ve used Shwetas help during a critical transition period for our organization. Her expertise and dedication helped us in identifying some good resources.
Nisha Singhania
CEO and Managing Partner, Infectious Advertising
Shweta is one of those remarkable professionals who seamlessly blend their human side with their work. I have known Shweta since 2015, when I entered the real world with my first job. She was our go-to person during the Lowe Lintas Apprenticeship Programme and continued to encourage me when I pursued my own coaching business in India. Her coaching was also essential when I moved countries to pursue my master's at NYU. Throughout these transitions, Shweta has been a constant source of encouragement and invaluable mentorship.
Rhythm Malhotra
TEDx Speaker, Executive Coach
My company has been consulting with Shweta since a couple months. Our experience working with her has been smooth like butter. Shweta understood and defined my company better than I’ve ever been able to and embedded the company values seamlessly into behaviour of every member of my team.
Kajol Arora

I first worked with Shweta over ten years ago when she recruited me as a novice in the advertising and marketing industry in India. She mentored me directly and was instrumental in shaping my career, which has extended from India to Singapore. Her guidance was a critical factor in my professional development during those formative years and beyond.

Working with Shweta has been unique in so many ways. It's rare that you meet an HR professional who really embodies the "Human" side of the role. I started out as an apprentice under her mentorship at Lintas, and she has guided me through my decade in the advertising industry. She's let me learn from many mistakes and she has connected me with legends in the industry that I would never have had the chance to work with otherwise. She's not someone who forgets you as time goes by, a professional relationship with Shweta is sincere and it's for life.

Mohammad Roshan
Senior HR Executive, Ogilvy
I believe I am one of the luckiest people to have had Shweta guide me through the beginning of my work life. She is excellent at training, mentoring, and being there for early career professionals. Having her around made most HR processes and regulations fairly easy to manoeuvre, which would stymie most of us who are just starting out. Additionally, in true HR spirit, she worked tirelessly to ensure that the apprentices were treated fairly and respectfully and were given as many learning opportunities as possible.
Sheeba Mammen

Under her guidance, I had the opportunity to work on various projects that contributed to my professional growth. She has an exceptional eye for detail and is result-oriented. She consistently motivates her team to deliver work above expected results and meet deadlines. She sets high individual standards that not only improves the performance of her team but also sets us apart from others.
Abigail Dsouza
Ex- Senior HR Executive, MullenLowe Lintas Group
The deeper insight on personality, both of self and others, opened up the mind to so many viewpoints and simple tools to conflict resolution, all of which are so crucial in our work lives today! The workshop had to be completely online at the time, and the audience came with its own challenges, but it was all managed beautifully by Shweta and the entire team thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Communication and sensitivity are some of Shweta's big plusses and I wish her all the very best in her future endeavors.
Priyanka Morarka
Trustee – R R Morarka Public School, Uttar Pradesh
