Built by a recruiter who lived the problem.
ealana is a decision intelligence platform for recruiting — built by someone who spent over a decade inside the problem it solves.
Why ealana exists
Every recruiting tool solves one slice of the job. Sourcing extensions find people. Applicant tracking systems track them. Outreach tools message them. But nothing connects discovery, memory, and execution into a single intelligent system — so recruiters re-source the same roles from scratch every quarter, and everything a team learns about candidates evaporates after each search.
ealana closes that gap. Discover finds and ranks candidates by real fit. Memory keeps every candidate and every search, so the system starts smarter each cycle instead of starting from zero. Flow runs the outreach and pipeline work that turns a shortlist into a hire. Together they move recruiting from talent intelligence — knowing who exists — to decision intelligence: knowing who to act on, and why.
The founder
Puneet Kumar spent 13+ years in recruitment — building and scaling technical hiring across APAC. At Cradlepoint (acquired by Ericsson) he grew the India R&D team from zero to 250+ engineers; at Cloudera and Hortonworks he ran large-scale talent operations. He wasn't managing from a distance — he was the hiring machine himself: sourcing, screening, offers, and vendor coordination across hundreds of roles in three countries.
That experience revealed the pattern ealana is built on: recruiting should get smarter every cycle, not start from zero. So he moved from operations to product and built the system he wished he'd had — architecting the sourcing pipeline, the workflow engine, and the knowledge graph himself.
