Product team enabled
Emint is an early-stage fintech startup building a stock broking platform designed to help Indian investors make better, data-driven investment decisions. Launched in June 2024 after over a year of product development, the platform focuses on simplicity, transparency, and long-term returns in a rapidly expanding Indian capital markets ecosystem.
As a zero-to-one startup, the team faced classic early-stage hiring hurdles
Hiring Without Proof Points
With no live product or market validation in the early days, attracting strong engineers required belief in the vision rather than immediate incentives.
Need for Foundational Talent
The first few hires needed to be technically strong, mature in decision-making, and capable of building core backend and order-management systems from scratch.
Rapidly Evolving Priorities
As the product evolved, hiring needs frequently shifted across backend, frontend, and design requiring flexibility and patience from the hiring partner.
We partnered closely with the founding team to build hiring momentum from the ground up
Foundational Hiring First
Focused on identifying senior backend talent capable of building mission-critical internal systems for a regulated fintech environment.
Vision-Led Candidate Conversations
Positioned the opportunity around India's fast-growing fintech and stock-broking market, highlighting long-term growth, ownership, and impact.
Adaptive Hiring Support
Quickly recalibrated searches as priorities changed, supporting backend, frontend, and design roles without friction.
Budget-Aligned Shortlisting
Balanced talent quality with realistic early-stage compensation expectations to ensure long-term sustainability.
Through a steady, trust-driven partnership, the startup built a strong technical foundation
