Hiring delays, messy HR processes, poor follow-through, an overloaded inbox, and founder bandwidth issues don’t stay “small problems” for long — they slow hiring, create employee friction, and pull leadership away from growth. If you’re a startup founder or growing business, you need more than task support; you need someone who can bring structure to both your people operations and day-to-day execution. I help startups, founders, and high-growth teams build and run the people side of the business more effectively through a combination of HR consulting, talent acquisition, people operations, and executive support. With 11+ years of experience across India and global markets, I’ve supported businesses with startup HR setup, recruitment, performance management, HR operations, HR systems implementation, and founder/CEO support — helping teams hire faster, operate more smoothly, and build stronger internal structure without adding unnecessary complexity. Here’s how I can support your business: HR Consulting | Startup HR | People Operations - Set up or strengthen HR functions for startups and growing businesses - Build HR processes, policies, employee lifecycle workflows, onboarding, and documentation - Support HR operations, compliance coordination, performance management, employee engagement, and day-to-day people processes - Create practical HR systems that are scalable, organized, and aligned with business goals Talent Acquisition | Recruitment | Hiring Support - Manage full-cycle recruitment support for technical and non-technical roles - Handle sourcing, screening, interview coordination, candidate communication, and hiring process management - Build structured recruitment workflows and talent pipelines to reduce hiring bottlenecks - Support urgent hiring needs as well as long-term workforce planning Executive Assistant | Founder Support | Business Support - Provide executive support to founders and senior leaders through calendar management, inbox management, meeting coordination, travel planning, follow-up tracking, and administrative support - Help reduce operational overload so leadership can focus on strategic priorities, hiring, growth, and decision-making - Bring structure, responsiveness, and consistency to fast-moving founder workflows HR Systems | Process Improvement | Operational Support - Support implementation and optimization of HR and workflow tools such as Zoho People, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, and Lever - Improve process visibility, task ownership, and internal coordination - Create more efficient systems for hiring, HR operations, and day-to-day execution What clients typically hire me for: Startup HR setup HR operations support Talent acquisition / recruitment coordination People operations and employee lifecycle support Performance management process setup HR policy and process documentation Executive Assistant / Founder support Calendar, inbox, travel, and meeting management Process improvement and workflow coordination Why work with me: - 11+ years of experience across HR, recruitment, people operations, and executive support - Strong experience supporting startups, founders, and high-growth teams - Comfortable working across both strategic HR priorities and hands-on execution - Experienced in building structure from scratch in fast-moving, evolving environments - Global exposure across teams and clients in India, the US, Canada, the UK, the UAE, and other markets If you’re looking for someone who can support your business across HR, hiring, people operations, and founder support — with a practical, startup-friendly approach — I’d be happy to discuss how I can help. Send me a message / invite with what you need support with, and I’ll let you know how I can add value.
