About SwayamWhere

SwayamWhere is a modern Indian matrimony platform built for people who want safety, clarity and values-aligned matches —without losing the warmth of families and traditions.

We’re building a space where :

  • Profiles are verified ,
  • Expectations are clear , and
  • The journey from “I” to “Us” feels like coming home, not losing yourself.

We’re now looking for our founding HR & People Operations Lead to help us build a thoughtful, people-first culture as we scale.

What you’ll own

1. Hiring & Talent Acquisition

  • Own end-to-end hiring for tech, product, marketing, and operations roles
  • Draft JD’s, post roles, screen profiles, schedule interviews
  • Design a structured, bias-aware interview process
  • Build and manage a strong talent pipeline via , referrals, and communities
  • 2. People Operations & Culture

  • Set up HR policies, handbooks, and basic HR systems for a growing startup
  • Drive onboarding & offboarding that feels human, clear, and respectful
  • Create simple, transparent processes around leave, performance, and feedback
  • Help founders shape a culture of respect, clarity, and accountability
  • 3. Compliance & Documentation

  • Maintain employee records and HR documentation
  • Coordinate with founders / CA for contracts, NDAs, and basic HR compliance
  • Support in drafting offer letters, consultant agreements, and internship letters
  • 4. Engagement & Well-being

  • Run simple but meaningful rituals : check-ins, 1 : 1s, town halls, feedback loops
  • Keep a pulse on team morale and proactively flag issues
  • Help design small initiatives around learning, recognition, and team bonding
  • You’ll be a great fit if you :

  • Have 2–6 years of experience in HR / Talent / People Ops (startup or tech preferred)
  • Are comfortable owning both hiring + day-to-day HR ops
  • Communicate clearly, calmly, and respectfully—even under pressure
  • Enjoy building processes from scratch instead of just following existing ones
  • Are comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage startup
  • Care about people, boundaries, mental health and fairness at work
  • Are okay working with some ambiguity while things are still being built
  • Nice-to-have (but not mandatory)

  • Experience hiring for tech / product / marketing roles
  • Prior experience in an early-stage startup
  • Familiarity with HR tools (ATS, HRMS, Recruiter, etc.)
  • What we offer

  • Opportunity to be an early team member at a high-potential consumer startup
  • A chance to shape the culture, not just manage it
  • Flexible, trust-based working environment
  • Direct access and collaboration with the founding team
  • Growth opportunities as the team and company scale
  • Create a job alert for this search
