Job Summary

Ludic is looking for an HR Generalist who can be the single point of ownership for people operations across a small, young corporate team and a warehouse/skilled-labour workforce. This is not a policy-writing desk job; its a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable sitting with a 24-year-old designer to talk through their quarterly goals and standing on the warehouse floor sorting out an attendance or PF query with our packing staff.

Were an early-stage, design-led consumer brand, which means the person in this seat has to build HR muscle from a fairly blank slate; systems, rhythms, and trust; while keeping day-to-day operations (payroll inputs, compliance, attendance, onboarding) running without hiccups.

Job Type: Full time

Responsibilities

- End-to-end hiring for both corporate roles and warehouse/skilled-labour positions; sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer rollout

- Building a repeatable, low-friction onboarding process for two very different employee experiences (young creative/ops team vs. warehouse staff)

- Set up and run a lightweight goal-setting and KPI framework across teams; something a fast-moving startup can actually stick to, not a heavy corporate appraisal system

- Run regular check-ins, track progress against goals, and coach managers on giving feedback

- Help translate business priorities into individual/team goals each quarter

- Own statutory compliance for the warehouse/labour workforce; PF, ESIC, minimum wages, shops & establishment, labour law adherence, and required registers/documentation

- Keep employment contracts, policies, and HR documentation audit-ready

- Liaise with consultants/auditors as needed for compliance filings

- Be a genuine point of connection for a young team; understand what motivates them, spot flight risks early, and build an environment people want to stay in





- Manage a small HR/admin team and coordinate closely with warehouse supervisors

- Run engagement initiatives suited to a small, high-energy team (not generic corporate engagement calendars)

- Attendance, leave management, payroll inputs, exits and full-and-final settlements

- Maintain HR MIS/trackers and report key metrics (attrition, headcount, hiring TAT) to leadership

- Handle grievances and conflict resolution across both employee groups with fairness and discretion

Requirements

- 36 years in an HR Generalist role, ideally with exposure to both white-collar teams and blue-collar/warehouse or factory-floor workforces

- Working knowledge of statutory compliance (PF, ESIC, labour laws, shops & establishment); not just theoretical, has actually filed/managed it

- Demonstrated experience setting KPIs/goals and running a performance management cycle, even an informal one

- Sharp, explicit communicator; equally able to write a policy note and have a direct, human conversation with a 22-year-old team member or a warehouse supervisor

- Comfortable with ambiguity and building processes from scratch; this is an early-stage environment, not a mature HR function

- Prior experience in a startup, D2C/retail brand, or manufacturing/warehouse-adjacent business is a strong plus

- Based in or willing to relocate to Ahmedabad; comfortable splitting time between office and warehouse

Nice to have

- Experience with HRMS tools for attendance/payroll (any standard platform)

- Exposure to a young, fast-growing consumer brand or lifestyle/fashion company

- Basic understanding of retail/warehouse operations rhythms (peak season hiring, shift patterns, etc.)
