Khushi DUBEY

Khushi works where people operations meets psychology. They are completing an M.A. in Psychology at Dr. Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University after a B.A. English (Hons.) with Psychology from Sophia Girls' College, Ajmer, and they have already put that training to work in HR roles. As an HR Analyst Intern in the Founder's Office at EverydaySmile, they support recruitment strategy and process improvement, source and screen candidates, coordinate interviews, and build trackers that keep hiring pipelines visible.

Their HR Psychologist Internship at Safalta Setu NGO shows the other half of their approach: they ran behavioural and competency-based assessments to inform hiring decisions, onboarded interns, and facilitated well-being, conflict resolution and engagement activities. Earlier, as a Psychology Intern at Gaur Mental Health Clinic, they conducted behavioural observations and psychological assessments for 5+ clients and applied structured case formulation to support clinical decisions. That mix of hands-on assessment and everyday HR admin is unusual at this stage.

Khushi is also a researcher. Their ongoing dissertation examines presenteeism and self-reported productivity among Indian employees, looking at whether psychosocial safety climate mediates that relationship. A second project looked at how personality traits shape trust in AI and workplace decision-making. They work with Jamovi, JASP, SmartPLS and MS Excel, and they hold a Diploma in Human Resource Management from Udemy. They are known for turning people questions into something measurable.
