Why Career Faktor?

Career Faktor is a capability-building platform focused on real-time, sustainable career solutions for job seekers and HR solutions for startups. It was born from a deep-rooted passion to help people and business owners achieve their professional goals.

I’m Shilpa Laharwal, founder of Career Faktor. Over nearly two decades in corporate HR, spanning both established companies and startups, I’ve built robust HR departments using progressive technology, strong resourcing, modern human capital practices, and effective HR planning and strategy, all designed to support business goals while ensuring employee success.

My career has spanned consulting, legal, IT, ITeS, EdTech, and pharma, with roles at HCL Technologies, Novo Nordisk, Khaitan & Co, Kochhar & Co, Fox Mandal, Singhania & Partners, and SecurEyes.

Along the way, I realized my real calling was coaching people and building their career portfolios, helping them find and maintain long-term, competitively-paid jobs while furthering their education and professional goals. Helping startup founders build strong HR processes only complements this mission.

At Career Faktor, I’m deeply passionate about people and the cultures that shape them. I practice empathy as a key to unlocking every client’s potential, combining strong writing skills with an eye for design.

Having sat on both sides of the table, building HR processes, recruiting, and developing talent, I bring a genuine, first-hand understanding of what companies, recruiters, employees, and candidates are really looking for.
