- Prepare responses and documentation for notices issued by government authorities.
- Consolidate financial statements of subsidiaries for holding company reporting.
- Own end-to-end recruitment for the team — drafting job descriptions, sourcing and screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and managing offer roll-outs and pre-boarding.
- Run structured onboarding and induction for new hires — ensuring documentation, system access, and orientation are completed smoothly from offer to day one.
- Manage HR compliance and payroll inputs — maintaining employee records, attendance and leave data, and ensuring statutory adherence to PF, PT, ESI, gratuity, and applicable labour laws.
- Maintain HR documentation and basic people policies — offer letters, employment contracts, and personnel files — while supporting a smooth day-to-day employee experience and exit/full-and-final formalities.
