The work

Three things I build

Every engagement is one of these, sized to your stage. The People Audit tells you which.

01

Build the people function

The layer a company needs to hire and keep people without it all running through the founder. Built once, documented, yours.

  • Hiring systems and onboarding
  • Contracts, policies and compliance
  • HRIS and the core tooling
  • Pay structure and benefits
  • The automation that keeps it light
02

Build the leadership layer

The decisions that compound as you grow: who leads, how the org is shaped, how performance and managers actually work.

  • Manager capability and coaching
  • Performance and feedback rhythm
  • Org design and workforce planning
  • Executive and senior hiring
  • Culture that survives scale
03

Build for India

For global companies standing up or scaling a Global Capability Centre. Twenty-five years of India people leadership, on your side of the table.

  • Operating model and structure
  • Hiring sequence and leadership bench
  • Compliance and statutory setup
  • Comp benchmarking
  • Culture that connects to HQ
My approach

How an engagement runs

Immerse

Learn the business, its goals and its constraints.

Diagnose

Find where the people risk actually sits.

Build

Lean systems and the decisions that matter.

Embed

Work as part of the team, not from outside it.

Hand back

Documented and owned by your team.

You build the company.
I'll build the people engine.
