"As we move into the intelligent era enabled by AI, we must build a company that attracts the smartest, fastest, and most exceptional talent. For Talent Acquisition, this means focusing on quality over quantity and being deliberate about hiring the rainmakers and the outliers"

Amrish Rau,

CEO, Pine Labs

Abhishek Nandan

As Pine Labs builds for the next era of growth, Amrish believes the quality of talent a company attracts will become an even stronger differentiator. AI will continue to reshape products, business models, and the way organisations operate, but enduring advantage will still come from people who can think sharply, move fast, and create disproportionate impact. In that context, hiring is not just a function of scale. It is a strategic lever that shapes the future of the company.

For Talent Acquisition, this means a clear shift in mindset. The focus cannot be on volume alone. It must be on identifying and attracting exceptional talent, the rainmakers, the outliers, and the individuals who raise the bar for the organisation. Amrish also underlines the importance of how Pine Labs shows up in those first moments of engagement. For many such candidates, the Talent Acquisition team is the first real window into the company. The experience they have should reflect the best of Pine Labs: sharp, ambitious, and clear about the kind of future it is building.

Inside TA

  • Abhishek Nandan

    I am a Talent Acquisition leader with over 13 years of experience, bringing deep expertise in Tech and Data hiring across diverse industries. I have a strong ability to design and execute comprehensive TA strategies that align closely with business goals and drive organizational growth, and I’m passionate about building and mentoring high-performing teams while streamlining recruitment processes. 


    Prior to Pine Labs, I have contributed my expertise at organizations such as NAB (National Australia Bank), Junglee Games, and GlobalLogic. Outside of work, I enjoy playing cricket and snooker, spending quality time with family, and catching up with friends, so feel free to say “Hi” when you see me around!

    From Books to Building Connections -

    Meet Shilpa D

    I am part of the HR Talent Acquisition team, leading leadership hiring at Pine Labs and driving end-to-end product hiring across the payment’s domain. I have a strong interest in building an exceptional candidate experience, with a bias for action, taking ownership, and delivering results throughout the hiring journey—ensuring we hire the right candidates for the right opportunities. 


    So far, I have enjoyed connecting with people across different verticals, building strong relationships with hiring managers, understanding each candidate’s experience, and aligning profiles with business needs. My primary focus is on hiring high-quality candidates across verticals.

    Ready to Connect, Learn & Make an Impact – Meet Simran

    Talent is all about connections and that’s what excites me most about being here. I’m excited to introduce myself as part of the Talent Acquisition team, currently supporting hiring across the prepaid business vertical at Pine Labs. I’m deeply passionate about building a career in HR, especially in Talent Acquisition, where every conversation has the potential to create meaningful impact. For me, hiring is not just about closing roles, it’s about understanding people, building relationships, and enabling the right opportunities. 


     Outside of work, I bring that same energy into things I love I’m an avid public speaker, enjoy theatre, and was also a child actor (a fun fact I like to share!). Swimming helps me reset, and on most weekdays, you’ll find me binge-watching movies. Looking forward to connecting with more of you and learning along the way!

🔹 Strengthening Referral Engagement Framework 


I contributed to enhancing key talent and engagement initiatives at Pine Labs by working on refining the referral policy. The focus was on making it more structured, transparent, and employee-friendly, enabling greater internal participation and encouraging high-quality talent through trusted networks. 


🔹 Enhancing Candidate Readiness for Tech Hiring 


I developed an interview preparation guide specifically for the Technology department, covering key expectations, relevant resources, and insights into the evaluation process. This helped provide candidates with better clarity and improved their overall readiness for interviews.

🔹 TA Newsletter & Engagement Initiatives 


Drove end-to-end TA newsletter content, blending candidate feedback, new hire introductions, and creative formats to make communication more engaging and people centric.
