COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Darshna Studio is a photography and cinematography house based in Ahmedabad, running for over three decades. We produce corporate films, brand and marketing videos, animation and motion graphics, and we cover exhibitions and corporate events across India — for clients in manufacturing, engineering, solar, polymers and allied industries.

Today we are a team of around 30 people across marketing, production and post-production, working on multiple verticals under one roof. We are in a growth phase: new corporate accounts, structured systems, and an expanding team. This is the right place for someone who wants to build processes from the ground up rather than inherit them.

— HR & Admin Executive

Location: Ahmedabad (on-site)

Experience: 2–4 years in HR and administration

Employment type: Full-time

Salary: ₹18,000 – ₹23,000 per month

About the role

This is our first dedicated HR role. There is no existing HR department — you will set one up. You will handle hiring, attendance, payroll inputs, employee records and day-to-day office administration for a 30-person creative and production team, working directly with the founder and department heads. It is a hands-on role: you will do the work yourself, not supervise someone else doing it.

Key responsibilities

Human Resources

- End-to-end recruitment: job posts, screening, interview coordination, offers and onboarding — largely for creative and production roles (videographers, editors, marketing executives)
- Maintain employee records, attendance, leave and shift schedules, including for crews working on outstation shoots




- Coordinate monthly payroll inputs with the accounts team; support statutory compliance (PF, ESIC, professional tax)
- Prepare offer letters, appointment letters and basic HR policy documents
- Run induction, probation follow-ups and a simple performance review cycle
- Handle employee queries, discipline matters and exit formalities
- Document SOPs for people processes, department by department

Administration

- Day-to-day office administration: facilities, housekeeping, utilities, stationery, office assets
- Vendor coordination and AMC follow-up; track service contracts and renewals
- Travel and accommodation arrangements for shoot crews travelling across states
- Maintain equipment issue and return registers in coordination with the operations team
- Support internal coordination between the marketing, shooting and editing departments

What we are looking for

- Graduate in any discipline; MBA/PGDM in HR is a plus but not mandatory
- 2–4 years of hands-on HR and admin experience, preferably in an SME, agency, studio or production environment
- Working knowledge of Gujarat labour compliance, PF/ESIC and payroll basics
- Comfortable with Excel/Google Sheets; exposure to HR or ERP software is an advantage
- Fluent in Gujarati, Hindi and English
- Self-starter who is comfortable with unstructured work and figuring things out independently

What you get

- Direct working relationship with the founder and a real say in how the company is structured
- Exposure to multiple business verticals — corporate films, exhibitions, events and brand content
- Transparent growth path into a senior HR role as the team expands
- To apply: Send your CV to [email protected] with “HR & Admin Executive” in the subject line.
