I have an MBA in finance and post a brief stint at the Delhi Stock Exchange, shifted to MP after marriage. My husband’s job brought us to Mumbai. I had two young kids at home and being in a nuclear family did not have faith to entrust their care to a nanny and venture out for a job. Being an MBA in finance I wanted to pursue something in the financial field but my husband suggested HR as an alternate career option. Taking up HR would mean that I could start my own consulting firm from home and would not need to neglect my kids. So, I started Rian Placements about 11 years back.
Rian was initially a work from home venture which has today grown into a women-centric consultancy operating from 2-3 locations in India. Today Rian is a chain of women working towards a common goal. We have both full time employees and also work-at-home moms who work for us on a flexi-time basis. Our main focus is executive search and career counselling.
We are a boutique firm and have been extremely fortunate in the fact that we have always had the backing of very committed employees. The dedication of the team towards every mandate that we handle, has been instrumental in us being where we are at today. At Rian we believe in transparent communication, whether it be inter or intra-office. Our clients can always count on us to give them candid feedback w.r.t the mandate shared or market and that has helped us cement our position in the industry.

Netflix’s ‘House Of Secrets: The Burari Deaths’ dwells into the shocking death of an entire family of 11 in one night. It throws light on gender roles, superstitions & mental health in Indian households.
(Trigger Warning: This story delves into a documentary about alleged suicide/murder and may be triggering. Spoilers ahead).
Directed by Leena Yadav and Anubhav Chopra, Netflix’s latest three-episode documentary ‘House of secrets: The Burari Deaths’ traces what happened with the Bhatia family in 2018. On a usual summer morning, 11 members of the same family were found suspiciously hanging from the roof in the suburb of Burari. Later it was concluded to be an occult ritual gone wrong.
I could hear grandmother mumbling in the background, “I’ve served my family throughout my life. Never turned away from responsibility like this. She isn’t even going to work like Kala or Malathi. Why can’t she cook then?”
The breeze bullied the reeds forcing them to swish and sway to its vagaries, forwards and backwards, this way and that. Everything was as it had been yesterday and the day before. The cuckoo bird continued its ‘coo-coo-once-is-not-enough-here’s-another’, coo-coo call, pleased with its own poetics, its rhythm unfaltering. So much had transpired, yet nothing had changed.

When I entered the corporate world, I had a female boss straight out of hell. She made Meryl Streep’s character in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ look like an angel.
