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

- 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.

Greetings! I'm an Advocate ( Attorney / Legal Counsel ) and a Chartered Accountant (Indian CPA) experienced in taxation, accountancy, auditing, corporate compliance and legal practice.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from across the globe, including South Korea, Mexico, Portugal, the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, and Africa. My clients come from a wide range of industries, including eCommerce, healthcare (doctors), education, IT, real estate, marketing, cosmetics, barbering, and more. I help businesses navigate US corporate compliance and tax requirements, offering practical advice and support in:
: Business Entity Advisory & Formation (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC, DAO, etc.)
: Entity Conversion & Domestication (state-to-state transfers, address and ownership changes, restructuring, and dissolutions)
: Tax & Compliance Solutions (EIN applications, annual reports & franchise tax filings, DBA filings)
: Legal Drafting & Documentation (Agreements such as Cofounders' Ag., Share Transfer, Post-nuptial, Digital Marketing, Property Clean-out, Corp. Bylaws etc.)
: Foreign Corporation Registration & Compliance, including responding to IRS notices.
: State and federal tax filings for both residents and non-residents
I’ve successfully incorporated 20+ entities across the US alongside securing EINs for both residents and non-residents. Additionally, I've provided consultation and legal opinions to clients regarding corporate compliance and cross-border taxation issues, and have also been able to help clients reduce/eliminate penalties of up to $25,000 for compliance defaults, and successfully get a refund of taxes that weren't supposed to be paid in the first place.
Why Me? ♠️
Driven by a passion for perfection, I am highly self-motivated and committed to excellence. I don’t upsell unnecessary services such as non-mandatory BOIR filings or unnecessary Operating Agreements unless they’re essential for your business. My approach is all about transparency - you’ll only get what you need to succeed, at the right time, and at a fair cost.
Outside of work, I stay grounded through a love for fitness and animal rescue and welfare - qualities that fuel my empathy, proactivity, and attention to detail.
