Empowering Businesses.
Building Teams. Driving Growth.
HumanAce was founded in 2019 with a heartfelt mission: to help businesses thrive by building high-performing teams and creating solid, sustainable HR foundations. At the heart of HumanAce is Smriti Jhunjhunwala, whose passion for people and business led her to solve a challenge she couldn’t ignore—helping startups and growing enterprises find the right talent and HR expertise without overstretching their resources.
A Simple Idea, A Big Purpose
It all started with a realization: startups and smaller organisations often struggled to manage HR effectively. With limited resources, hiring full-time HR teams wasn’t always an option, yet the need for talent acquisition, streamlined processes, and compliance remained critical. Smriti saw an opportunity to step in and make a difference—offering on-demand, high-quality HR solutions that let businesses focus on what they do best: growing and thriving.
What began as a seed of an idea quickly grew roots. From its humble beginnings in Australia, HumanAce became a trusted partner for startups and smaller organisations looking for HR solutions that were efficient, tailored, and reliable. By offering everything from recruitment solutions to employee lifecycle management, HumanAce became a lifeline for businesses without dedicated HR teams.
Early
Inspiration
Smriti’s passion for HR stemmed from her ability to see the human side of businesses. She realized that behind every successful business is a well-managed and motivated team. Her exposure to diverse industries and organizations helped her observe a recurring gap: a mismatch between market demands and the talent pool available, particularly in Australia.
Identifying
The Problem
While working with smaller organisations and startups, Smriti noticed that they often struggled with managing HR processes due to their limited budgets and small teams. These companies needed high-quality HR services, but hiring a full-time HR professional was not always feasible. This gap inspired Smriti to design a solution that would offer HR expertise on-demand, tailored to the unique needs of these organisations.
The Birth
of HumanAce
In 2019, Smriti founded HumanAce with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide flawless HR services and bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. Starting with a focus on talent acquisition and HR consulting in Australia, she quickly expanded the company’s reach to include India, helping businesses in two dynamic markets.
Overcoming
Challenges
Building a service-driven organisation requires immense effort. Smriti balanced managing client expectations, building a team of passionate HR experts, and navigating the complexities of compliance across geographies. Her ability to empathize with clients and offer personalized solutions helped her gain trust and establish long-term relationships.
Growth
and Impact
Under Smriti’s leadership, HumanAce grew from a small HR consultancy to a vital support system for startups and growing smaller organisations. By staying true to her vision of delivering excellence and empowering businesses, she enabled her clients to focus on growth while leaving HR management in safe hands.
