Shivani Pande — Head of Talent
Advocating for a more human approach to 'Human Resources.' I’m on a journey to become a people success strategist—combining the heart of an HR professional with the strategic mindset of a marketer. Currently, I oversee All Things People at Rocketium, working closely with the founding team to shape the company’s culture and talent strategy. As the first hire for the people and culture team, I’ve had the privilege of co-driving Rocketium's 0-to-1 journey, building foundational practices and fostering a thriving team. Curious about what the Rocketium team is up to? I often share our stories here: blog.rocketium.com. My foray into Talent and Employer Branding began at Metamorph (formerly Passion Connect), an incubated talent unit of Blume Ventures, India’s leading early-stage VC firm. As a one-person army, I established Employer Branding as a business unit and led the branding initiatives for Blume’s portfolio startups. From content writing and video production to analytics, employee interviews, and creative design—I wore many hats, gaining hands-on experience across the board. Earlier in my career, I was part of SDG Software India Pvt. Ltd. (SDG Corporation), a U.S.-headquartered cybersecurity firm, where I managed end-to-end recruitment for IT professionals, with a focus on cybersecurity. Beyond hiring, I co-led employer branding efforts, driving initiatives like enhancing SDG’s Glassdoor presence, fostering cross-team branding, and improving social media engagement.
