About

I’ve spent 6+ years inside fast-growing companies like Groyyo working across hiring, employee lifecycle, HR operations, and people strategy. What I’ve seen up close is this: Most startups don’t fail because of bad talent — they fail because of broken people systems. High attrition, burned-out teams, unclear expectations, constant firefighting — these are not “people problems.” They’re leadership, process, and design problems. Today, I work as an HR Consultant helping founders and HR teams: Reduce avoidable attrition Build clear roles, feedback and accountability Fix hiring & onboarding Create sustainable, high-performance teams without burning people out My approach blends structured HR systems with a deep understanding of human energy, motivation, and wellbeing — because performance only lasts when people don’t feel exhausted or disposable. If you’re scaling a team and things feel chaotic, I can help you bring clarity. 📩 Feel free to DM me. — Shefali
