Make a Resume Online for Indian Jobs
Use Pika to make a resume online for campus placements, Indian IT and product roles, startups, banks, consultancies, and international employers hiring in India. Start from a template, a LinkedIn profile, or an existing resume, then edit every section before you download.
- Choose a clean template with selectable text and familiar section headings.
- Add projects, internships, achievements, and skills that match the role you want.
- Review the full resume in the live preview before creating the PDF.
- Run the separate ATS diagnostic to check common parsing and content risks.
Choose the Right Way to Start
The best starting point depends on what you already have. Each path reaches an editable Pika resume, so you can change the wording, section order, template, and colours before downloading.
| Starting point | Best when | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Blank template | You are making a first resume or want a clean restart | Choose a design, then fill each section in the guided builder |
| LinkedIn profile | Your profile already has useful roles, education, and skills | Import the available details, review them, and choose a template |
| Existing resume | You want to reuse content but refresh the structure | Upload the file, check the parsed sections, and edit in the builder |
| Existing PDF layout | You want to preserve the current visual design | Use Pika Edit, which is a separate workflow with its own unlock |
While you're here: check your resume for common ATS risks
Upload your resume, then sign in to run and save the free diagnostic. You will see your score, category breakdown, and issue counts.

Sections to Include in an Indian Resume
Use the section order that makes your strongest evidence easy to find. A fresher can lead with education and projects, while an experienced candidate will usually lead with a short summary and recent work experience.
| Section | What to include | When to move it up |
|---|---|---|
| Contact details | Name, city, phone, email, LinkedIn, and a relevant portfolio | Always first |
| Summary or objective | Role target, experience level, strongest skills, and one useful outcome | Near the top when it adds information |
| Experience or internships | Role, organisation, dates, responsibilities, and measurable outcomes | Before education once work evidence is stronger |
| Projects | Problem, your contribution, tools used, and a result you can explain | Higher for freshers and career changers |
| Skills | Role-relevant tools, methods, languages, and capabilities you can defend | Near experience for skill-heavy roles |
| Education and certifications | Degree, institution, graduation year, and relevant credentials | Higher for students and recent graduates |
Choose an ATS-Readable Resume Template
A straightforward reading order, selectable text, and conventional headings reduce avoidable parsing problems. The right design still depends on the role and employer, and no resume maker or template can guarantee an ATS result, interview, or hiring decision.
- Use one clear heading for each section and keep dates consistently formatted.
- Avoid placing essential contact details only inside images, graphics, or decorative headers.
- Use columns carefully and verify that copied text follows the intended reading order.
- Export the final file, open it again, and check every page before applying.
Review the Resume Before You Apply
A resume maker provides the structure, but the final facts are yours to verify. Read every line for accuracy, remove placeholders, check dates and links, and tailor the most relevant skills and achievements to the job description without adding experience you do not have.
- Check spelling, punctuation, dates, phone number, email, and links.
- Replace generic duties with truthful outcomes and useful numbers where available.
- Keep the strongest evidence on the first page and remove repeated information.
- Download the PDF, inspect its page breaks, and confirm that its text can be selected.
