HR Business Partner — People & Culture

Panigrahana Weddings | Bengaluru | Full time, on-site

Build the HR function of a growing wedding planning and design business. We are looking for a hands-on HR Business Partner who can turn people needs into practical systems, earn employees’ trust and hold managers accountable. You will own the employee lifecycle and help shape how the company hires, works, develops people and handles difficult conversations.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

- End-to-end recruitment: understand hiring needs, define roles, source talent, run structured interviews, coordinate offers and improve quality of hire.
- Joining and onboarding: documentation, induction, role clarity, probation reviews and a consistent new-joiner experience.
- HR foundations: organisation structure, job descriptions, policies, employee records, attendance and leave processes, and reliable HR reporting.
- Performance and development: clear expectations, review cycles, manager coaching, feedback and practical learning plans.
- Employee relations: listen carefully, handle concerns confidentially, resolve conflict fairly and follow through on commitments.
- Culture and retention: build everyday practices that support trust, accountability, recognition and effective collaboration across sales, design, planning and execution teams.
- Exits: thoughtful exit interviews, handovers,



documentation and coordination of final settlements; use the feedback to improve the workplace.
- People operations: coordinate payroll inputs, benefits and applicable compliance with finance and specialist advisers.

WHO WILL DO WELL HERE
- You have independently handled both recruitment and broader HR operations, with examples of systems you built or improved.
- You can work in a startup environment: create the process, implement it yourself and keep it usable as the business grows.
- You combine emotional intelligence with sound judgment. You can be empathetic without avoiding difficult decisions, and direct without losing respect for people.
- You are organised, discreet and comfortable working closely with founders and functional leaders.
- Experience in hospitality, events, creative services or another people-intensive business is helpful.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE A dependable hiring pipeline, explicit roles and onboarding, accurate people records, useful review routines, and employees who know where to raise concerns and receive follow-through.

HOW TO APPLY

Apply with your CV. Please include a short example of an HR process you built from scratch and a people challenge you handled, without sharing confidential employee information. Tell us your current location and notice period.
