Summary
HR‑tech and growth operator: Rohan has spent the last several years focused on recruiting automation and HR technology, leading growth, customer success, and commercial strategy at Sense. His writing and public posts repeatedly analyze hiring economics, AI's role in recruiting, and GTM metrics—showing both hands‑on operator experience and an analytical view of the market. theorg+2
Public‑sector and social impact experience: Before moving into tech and startups, Rohan worked at Tata Trusts and was seconded to the Government of India (Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation), where he managed large programs and execution across states—experience he cites as formative for understanding scale and complex stakeholder management. youtube+1
Practitioner‑writer and communicator: He maintains a personal blog with essays on product, AI, hiring, and growth; he publishes analyses and reading lists, and he speaks about career and decision‑making (e.g., NetworkCapital/YouTube interview). This combination suggests he frames operational experience with public-facing thought leadership. rohanmanchanda+2
