Mehndi Shivdasani — Founder
I have primarily worked with rapidly growing and globally distributed start-ups, MNCs, non-profits, global foundations and social enterprises, helping them build and grow their teams. As a talent acquisition specialist, I've had the good fortune of understanding the mechanics of multiple industries and interacting with talent across mid to senior-level roles. Some of the organisations I've hired for include Youtube, Google, Change.org, Wadhwani AI, Twiga Foods, Pollinate Energy, Learning Links Foundation, St Jude India ChildCare Centres, Purpose, Tata Trusts, and India Climate Collaborative, amongst others. In addition to my passion for building high-class teams, I have a deep interest in climate action, waste management and sustainability. For the last five years, I've transitioned to living an Earth-friendly lifestyle focused on making climate-conscious choices and reducing my carbon footprint. Aside from this, I am also a disability rights activist and a caregiver to a younger brother who is disabled and neurodivergent. All my life choices thus far are guided by my need and a deep desire to serve people and our planet. I plan and hope to spend the rest of my career working with like-minded, hungry, impact-oriented teams who believe that business can be a force for good.
