Grizmo Labs helps fintech, BFSI-technology, consumer-internet and media-tech companies hire backend, platform, data, security and AI engineers, and the technology leaders who run regulated systems, across Mumbai and India.

Your first engineers decide your architecture, culture and speed for years.
Searches where the technical bar is the hard part.

Helping founders make the hardest hire a startup makes: engineer #1.
Depth, judgement and ownership, not keyword matching.
Most strong engineers in Mumbai aren’t applying. We go to them.
Confidential CTO, VP Engineering and Head of AI searches.
Comp, equity and notice-period realities before you write the offer.
