At Coral Recruit, we don’t do “placements.” We do “plot twists", connecting people to companies they didn’t know they wanted, and companies to talent they thought didn’t exist.

Most people think interiors are about colours and furniture. They’re wrong. Bad design makes you late to work, stressed at home, and irritated in restaurants. Good design quietly fixes all of that, without you even noticing. That’s the kind of work we do at Places & Spaces.

About

Founder at Coral Recruit | Director at Hope Education & Migration | Co-founder at Places and Spaces Hiring. Migration. Architecture. Basically, if it moves, builds, or dreams — I’m probably involved. At Coral, we help founders find people who don’t ghost after offer letters. At Hope, we make moving abroad feel less like a nightmare and more like a next step. At Places and Spaces, we design homes people actually want to live in (and not just post on Pinterest). Bangalore-based, traffic-tested. Married to my co-founder, Spandana — so I recruit by day and argue about flooring at night. If you’re hiring, migrating, building, or just want to discuss life over biryani — I’m one DM away. Bonus points if you bring filter coffee and sarcasm.
