## About

Some people build brands\. I build the systems, automations, and AI\-powered workflows that help teams scale with clarity and care\. I'm Yashita, a people operations freak who blends structure, tech, and empathy to help startups build strong, scalable foundations\. Over the last 6 years, I've worked across high\-growth tech startups like Interview Kickstart, Plivo, Jodo, and Unstop, driving everything from onboarding and HRMS rollouts to culture\-building and internal comms\. Lately, I've been deep in the AI\-led future of HR, using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Make, and Google Apps Script to turn repetitive manual processes into self\-running workflows\. The result? Less admin, more impact\. What I bring to the table: \* AI\-led HR automation that cuts manual coordination effort by up to 60% \* People operations that are scalable, compliant, and human \* HR tech rollouts that don't just digitize, they simplify \* Insurance & vendor management that reduced company costs by 40% \* Engagement programs that moved scores from 60 to 80 \* Built PIA, our Slack\-based AI HR assistant, cutting query resolution time by 30% I believe great HR is invisible when it works well and unforgettable when it's built with purpose\. If you're building something meaningful and want people processes that scale with you, let's connect\.
