Stakeholder alignment precedes acceleration. Strategy only works when people are ready for it.

LambdaTest

Organization

"Richa trained my cohort and everyone’s career graph started to look like a startup’s funding chart. That’s what happens when someone gives you the kind of clarity you can’t get from Google, parents or ‘follow your passion’ reels."

Anmol Garg

Corporate Babaji

"Richa brings the judgment of a senior CHRO with the agility of a partner. Our leaders trust her instantly, and that’s why her interventions work. She rebuilt our people architecture and brought strategic clarity that changed how we operate."

Upinder

CEO, US Technosoft

"Richa’s clarity is rare, and her ability to translate that clarity into systems, culture and compliance frameworks is even rarer. She helped us lay down the intellectual and operational foundation of our people function at a stage when most startups are still improvising. For any founder looking for a Fractional CHRO who can think deeply, build deliberately and elevate both people and performance, she is an exceptional asset."
