What makes an Indian resume different
Indian hiring norms diverge from the US/UK in four concrete ways. Pika handles each one.
No photo, skip personal details
Indian corporate and IT resumes skip the photo, date of birth and marital status; recruiters want skills first.

Lead with education and CGPA, then projects and internships when you are early-career.

Frequently asked questions
India-specific answers covering photos, resume length, the ATS at top employers, and fresher formatting.
Can I try Pika Resume for free?
Yes. The Free plan gives you full access to the AI resume builder, all templates, LinkedIn import, and 1 Resume Roast. PDF downloads require an active Pro subscription. No credit card required to start.
How do I download my resume as a PDF?
Subscribe to a Pro plan - ₹129 for 7 days, ₹199 for 30 days, or ₹399 for 365 days - and you get unlimited PDF downloads while the plan is active.
Does my Pro plan auto-renew?
No. Pro plans are one-time purchases for the duration you select. When the period ends, downloads pause until you renew. Your resumes stay safe in the meantime.
Is there a student discount?
Reach out to support with your student email - we have running campaigns for verified students.
How is pricing shown in my country?
Pro is ₹129 / 7 days, ₹199 / 30 days, or ₹399 / 365 days, in INR for users in India. Expert Review is ₹249 flat per resume.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), UPI, and net banking. All payments are securely processed via Razorpay.
Can I extend my Pro plan early?
Yes. Buying another Pro plan while one is active stacks the new duration on top of your remaining time - you don't lose any unused days.
What exactly does Expert Review include?
Expert Review is a one-time add-on where a human reviewer examines your resume line by line. The current scope and delivery estimate are shown before purchase.
Is there a refund policy?
We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase for Pro plans and one-time fix unlocks if you are not satisfied. Expert Review refunds are available if the review has not yet been started.
Should I put a photo on my resume in India?
For most corporate and IT roles, no. Indian recruiters expect a clean, skills-first resume without a photo, date of birth or marital status. A few creative or hospitality roles differ, but the safe default is no photo.
How long should a resume be in India?
One page for freshers and early-career candidates, and two pages at most for experienced professionals. Recruiters skim, so lead with impact and keep it tight.
How do I reduce common resume parsing risks when applying to TCS, Infosys or Wipro?
Use a single-column layout with standard headings, mirror the keywords from the job description, and avoid tables, columns and images. Pika's templates are tested against these ATS, and the free ATS check flags problems before you apply.
Where do I find jobs in India?
Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed and Foundit are the main job boards. Tailor your resume to each job description rather than sending one generic version; Pika Match does this in about 60 seconds.
What is the best resume format for a fresher in India?
Lead with education (CGPA or percentage), then projects, internships and skills. Keep it to one page and quantify outcomes wherever you can.
Do I need a different resume for startups versus MNCs?
Often yes. MNCs lean on ATS and standard formatting, while startups value impact and ownership. Tailor per application with Pika Match instead of sending one generic resume everywhere.
