About Abhijitt Murugan

From starting as a recruiting coordinator to now leading end-to-end hiring for Instabase India, my journey has been shaped in fast-moving, high-impact startup environments. I focus on building lean, scalable recruiting processes and hiring exceptional talent across Tech, Non-Tech, and University channels.My core strength lies in hiring for deeply technical, hard-to-fill roles—think AI/ML, infrastructure, platform and reliability engineering. I work closely with engineering leaders to define hiring priorities, run targeted search strategies, and deliver a high-quality candidate experience.I’ve also built and led our university hiring program in India—establishing strong relationships with top-tier campuses and creating brand strategies that resonate with early talent.Prior to recruiting, I was a professional cricketer—an experience that taught me discipline, resilience, and how to thrive as part of a team.Outside work, I explore India on two wheels. I\'ve ridden through 19 states so far, and I’m working my way toward all 28. For more on my motorcycle travels, follow along on Instagram:@abhijitt_murugan.
