Independent HR & People Operations Partner
I work directly with founders and growing teams to replace scattered HR tasks with clear, practical systems—before people problems begin slowing the business down.
You do not necessarily need a large HR department. You need the right foundations, someone accountable for them, and systems your managers can actually use.

The People Engine
I can support the full employee lifecycle—from the first workforce plan to a well-managed exit—while building only what the business can maintain.
Practical HR policies, documentation, statutory coordination and workplace processes appropriate for your team stage.
Joining workflows, documentation, induction plans, role clarity and probation checkpoints that create a consistent start.
Goal cycles, reviews, one-to-ones, manager routines, feedback and responsible performance documentation.
Employee communication, engagement calendars, grievance pathways, retention conversations and structured resolutions.
Learning-needs coordination, employee development initiatives and practical CSR programmes aligned with business priorities.
Employee records, leave, attendance, payroll inputs, dashboards, BGV, vendors and dependable recurring controls.
Headcount planning, organisation structure, people dashboards and clearer visibility for founder decisions.
A connected employee lifecycle from workforce planning and recruitment through onboarding, development, engagement and exit.
A simple way to start
We discuss your team, growth plans and the HR problem creating the most friction.
I review what exists, identify priority risks and give you a focused action plan.
I can implement the agreed foundations or stay involved as your fractional HR partner.

Meet Shreya
I am an HR and Talent professional with experience spanning hiring, onboarding, policies, performance, employee relations, HR operations, reporting and team coaching. My work has been shaped by Bengaluru's high-growth business environment and by the reality that founders need systems that are commercially sensible, not unnecessarily complex.
I now bring that hands-on experience directly to startups and mid-sized organisations that have limited HR capability—or no dedicated HR function at all.
Experience built across
