We asked our Business Psychologist and Assessment Specialist, Ananya, a few questions so you can get to know her better.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hey! I’m Ananya, a Business Psychologist and Assessment Specialist at TalentPredix. I’ve always been fascinated by human behaviour – what motivates us, how we grow, and how we can bring out the best in ourselves and others. That curiosity led me to a career in Human Resources and business psychology, where I’ve worked across talent management, employee engagement, and leadership development. My background includes working with companies like BAT and D.E. Shaw Group, and I hold a Master’s in Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology from King’s College London.
What’s your top talent, career driver, and core value?
My top talent is Organisation – I love bringing structure to complex problems, creating efficient processes, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. My key career driver is Entrepreneurial Spirit, which means I enjoy taking initiative, innovating, and bringing new ideas to life. My core value is Learning – I’m always looking for opportunities to grow, gain new insights, and help others develop as well.
What does great talent management mean to you?
Great talent management is about aligning people’s strengths with meaningful work. It’s not just about filling roles – it’s about ensuring individuals have the right opportunities to grow, feel valued, and perform at their best. When organisations take a strengths-based approach, employees become more engaged, motivated, and productive, leading to long-term success for both individuals and businesses.
How do you relax outside work?
I find balance in both structure and creativity – I love history, politics, and philosophy, but I also recharge through theatre, dance, and music. Organising my thoughts through reading and deep conversations helps me unwind, but I also enjoy the energy and movement of physical activities like tennis.
What do you like most about working at TalentPredix Ltd?
I love how TalentPredix champions a strengths-based, people-first approach. It’s incredibly rewarding to help individuals and organisations uncover what they do best and see real impact from our work. Plus, I get to work with an inspiring team that is extremely cordial and values learning and making a difference!
If you could have any superpower for a day, what would it be and how would you use it?
I’d love to have the ability to teleport – being able to instantly visit my family whenever I miss them would be incredible. No long flights, no waiting – I could just show up, have dinner with them, and be back in time for work the next morning!
