What We Do

Specialist search for financial services and fintech

PeopleCap runs two services for financial services and fintech. We fill technology, product, risk, compliance, data and front-office roles for banks, NBFCs, fintechs and GCCs across India, and through Outpost we build dedicated offshore engineering teams in India for companies worldwide. We do not take generalist mandates, and we do not pretend to be a full-service HR firm.

Fractional HR and custom compensation benchmarking are taken on as engagements when the scope is sizeable, in India or internationally, and evaluated case by case. Neither is the reason we exist, and both are done with the same domain depth as the search.

  1. Our core practice

    Talent Acquisition

    Finding the right people for financial services and fintech roles

    We source and qualify candidates for technology, product, risk, compliance, and business roles at financial services and fintech firms across India. Our work is success-fee based. You pay when a candidate joins.

    We are not a generalist recruitment firm. Our sourcing is concentrated in the financial services talent market, which means our pipelines are warm, our candidate assessments are domain-informed, and our briefing conversations are efficient.

    We operate as a hiring partner, not a vendor. That means tight feedback loops, transparent pipeline reporting, and a shared interest in getting the hire right.

  2. Our second service

    Outpost

    Dedicated offshore engineering teams, built and run in India

    We hire, employ and run a dedicated engineering team in India that works only for you: the capability of a captive technology centre without standing one up. Built for fintech and software firms worldwide, delivered from India.

    Set it up as an offshore development centre, on an employer-of-record basis where we are the legal employer and you direct the work, or as a build, operate and transfer engagement with a path to owning the team later.

    It is the same domain we know from the search desk, applied to building the teams behind financial products rather than filling a single seat.

    Who this is for Engineering and product leaders at fintech and software firms who need to build capacity in India faster than local hiring allows, and without setting up an entity. Engagement model: A dedicated team, billed monthly, with a build, operate and transfer option.

Also offered

For sizeable engagements

Two things we take on when the scope is sizeable and we are confident we can deliver, in India or internationally, evaluated case by case. Neither is the reason we exist.

Fractional HR

A senior HR business partner on a monthly retainer, for a firm that has outgrown founder-led HR but is not ready for a full-time CHRO. The same domain we search in, applied one layer up.

How fractional HR works

What we publish

Market intelligence, not a service to buy

We run a search desk, so we see live offer and joining data across financial services and fintech. We publish what we can from it. You do not have to engage us to use any of this.

Software we build

Two products, built in house

Alongside the practice we build and run two software products, each with its own home and its own pricing.
