Built for India's financial services and fintech (BFSI) sector

PeopleCap works exclusively with organisations operating within the regulated financial services and fintech landscape in India. Our practice is structured around the specific dynamics of this sector and the firms that operate within it.

Sectors we work with

Four segments. One specialist practice.

We are deliberate about the firms we engage with. The talent decisions in these segments have specifics that a generalist advisory practice is not built to serve.

Financial Services

Asset managers, wealth platforms, insurance firms, and broader regulated financial services entities scaling their people function within a compliance-led environment. Hiring profiles, compensation benchmarks, and governance expectations in this segment are specific to the sector and shape every conversation, from role brief through to offer construction.

Banking & NBFCs

Banks and non-banking financial companies hiring across technology, risk, compliance, and operations as they expand product lines and digital infrastructure. The talent dynamics differ materially from those at consumer technology firms, and the hiring approach, from brief design to candidate assessment, has to reflect that difference.

Fintech & Payments

Venture-backed fintechs, payment aggregators, lending platforms, and embedded finance providers building teams to scale through the next stage of growth. Speed, regulatory awareness, and domain depth all have to be present at the same time, and our practice is built for that combination.

Financial Services GCCs & Captives

Global capability centres and captive technology units being built within financial services groups. These organisations hire at the intersection of financial domain knowledge and technology capability, a combination that requires a hiring partner who understands both sides. We work with GCC leadership and HR teams on building specialist technology teams from the ground up.

Why we work this way

The choice to work within a defined set of segments is deliberate. The talent market in financial services moves differently from the broader technology market, the compensation norms are distinct, and the regulatory dimension shapes what good hiring looks like at every level.

By concentrating our practice in this space, we build pattern recognition that a generalist firm cannot match. We already know the candidate pools. We already understand the compensation structures. We already speak the language of the business.

If your firm sits within this landscape, we would like to understand where you are and where you need to get to.

We work with clients headquartered across India, with the deepest concentration in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru, plus active mandates in Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai.
