About Stellaspire

A women-led recruitment partner. We take hiring personally.

Stellaspire is a specialist recruitment firm based in Bengaluru. We help GCCs and growth companies hire finance, analytics and leadership talent through a selective, hands-on search, with diversity built into every shortlist.

Our mission

Better hires, made with care.

Hiring decisions shape teams for years. We believe they deserve more than a stack of CVs. Our mission is to give every client a considered shortlist, and every candidate an honest, respectful experience, whether or not they get the role.

We focus on roles where context, judgment and fit matter most: the finance leaders, analytics specialists and functional heads who change how a business runs.

What sets us apart

Three commitments in every search.

The principles that guide how we choose mandates and how we run them.

01 · Specialist

Focused expertise

Finance, analytics, AI/data and leadership roles only. We do not run volume hiring, so every search gets specialist attention.

02 · Diversity-first

Balanced shortlists

As a women-led firm, we actively include qualified women candidates in every shortlist, including professionals returning after a career break.

03 · Hands-on

Founder-led search

You work directly with the people running your search, from the first brief conversation to the day your hire joins.

The people behind the search

A personal approach.
A clear method.

Led by Nikita Agrawal,
Founder & CEO.

Specialist market knowledge meets a hands-on, consultative search process built around the role, the company and the person behind every profile.

Our values

  • Care. We treat every hire as if it were for our own team, and every candidate as a person, not a profile.
  • Honesty. We tell clients what the market says and tell candidates where they stand.
  • Inclusion. We widen the search so that talented people are not missed because of a career break or a narrow brief.
  • Accountability. We agree clear steps and terms up front, and we stay with each search until the hire joins.

Trusted by growing companies and global teams.
