About Simran Shah

I’m an Industrial & Organizational Psychology graduate who enjoys building the people side of startups - especially when things are still taking shape.Currently at Sav, I’m building People & Culture and HR practices from the ground up. My work spans people operations, hiring, and partnering closely with leadership to create a culture where high performance, trust, and growth go hand in hand as the company scales.Before Sav, I’ve worked with 2070Health, helping early-stage teams with hiring, people processes, and stakeholder management and MetaMorph, supporting founders across Blume Ventures’ portfolio, and with These experiences have given me a front-row seat to different startup journeys and what it really takes to build teams from scratch.I enjoy working in fast-paced environments where there’s ambiguity, a lot to build, and no one-size-fits-all answers. I love to build people systems that are practical, scalable, and genuinely people-first.I want to be known for building strong cultures, thoughtful people ops, and scalable HR systems - and for making the process a little more human along the way.
