About

I’ve always believed that hiring isn’t a checklist it’s a conversation between ambition and opportunity. At PinnacleU, I help startups build teams that actually make sense for them. I work closely with founders, understand their vision, and translate it into hires who can drive it forward. I’ve hired for SaaS, FMCG, Logistics, Fintech, and D2C industries specializing in non-tech roles like Sales, Operations, and Finance (though tech roles have grown on me too!). My philosophy is simple: Hire right, not fast. Because the wrong hire costs more than a delay ever will. I’m passionate about meaningful hiring, genuine culture fit, and building long-term relationships between people and work.

Worked closely with 20+ startups across India, helping them build their core teams from scratch. Managed end-to-end hiring from understanding the role with founders to closing candidates and ensuring smooth onboarding.
Handled sourcing (LinkedIn, referrals, databases), screening, interview coordination, follow-ups, and offer rollouts.
Worked on both tech and non-tech roles (majorly non tech) across levels junior to leadership. Got really comfortable dealing directly with founders, understanding fast-changing requirements, and hiring in high-pressure timelines.
Also learned how unpredictable startup hiring can be last minute drops, urgent closures, shifting JDs basically got a real crash course in recruitment beyond just “posting jobs.”

Decided to pause work for 6 months to prepare seriously for CAT. Put in consistent effort, got a good percentile, and gained solid problem-solving discipline. After weighing my options, chose to stick to gaining hands-on experience rather than doing a post-grad.
