Helping startups looking to establish their presence in India's business landscape by setting up their teams, navigate the hiring process, and establish HR policies & compliance.
Primary responsibilities revolve around facilitating a smooth and effective transition for these startups. This includes three key areas:
1. Team Setup: I assist startups in building their teams by understanding their specific staffing needs and identifying the right talent for their organization. This involves creating job descriptions, defining roles and responsibilities, and helping them understand the local talent market.
2. Hiring: I take charge of the recruitment process, ensuring that the startups find the best fit for their positions. This involves sourcing candidates, conducting interviews, and managing the entire hiring cycle. I also help them with compliance and legal aspects related to hiring in India.
3. HR Policies: To ensure the smooth operation of their teams, I help startups develop and implement HR policies tailored to the Indian market. This includes drafting employment contracts, handling employee onboarding, and providing guidance on labor laws and regulations in India.
In essence, my role is to be a trusted partner for startups looking to expand into India, guiding them through the complexities of hiring, HR, and compliance.

Most challenging job I have taken up in my whole career of recruiting has been to be recruited as "Mother". Parenting isn't an easy feat, this job requires the whole you (mentally, physically, socially & emotionally)- days when you aren't even going to get time to do some basic stuff, let alone going for a run. Happy to say that it has been the most rewarding job for me, you need to unlearn and learn every second. Everything has expiry date but parenting is a lifelong job and one needs to be a lifelong learner for that.
