Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Who is this playbook for?

Indian HR professionals, recruiters and talent-acquisition teams, and small-business owners who hire — anyone who has been told to use AI at work but not shown how to do it safely. It is written in simple English for Indian workplaces.

Is the content current and verified?

Yes. Every adoption figure, tool price and legal date was verified against official sources, government notifications and current vendor pricing in October 2026 — including Deloitte India, Indeed, LinkedIn, BCG, SHRM India, the DPDP Rules 2025 and the EU AI Act.

Does it cover DPDP compliance for hiring?

Yes. A full chapter covers India's DPDP Act 2023 and DPDP Rules 2025 for hiring — the timeline, why candidate data is in scope, the six compliance habits, what a consent notice must say, AI-specific rules, the penalties, and fill-in notice and retention templates.

How many prompts are included?

More than 100 copy-paste prompts, grouped across ten HR jobs: job descriptions and sourcing, screening and shortlisting, interviews, candidate communication, onboarding, performance and feedback, policies and compliance, engagement and retention, learning and development, and HR analytics.

Do I need a paid AI subscription?

No. Every prompt works on a free plan for drafting. For real candidate data, use a business or API account your company has approved — and always anonymise résumés before pasting them into any AI tool.

How do I download the ebook after payment?

After successful payment on Razorpay, you are automatically redirected to a thank-you page with a download button. Click it to get your PDF instantly — it is yours forever.

Can I get a refund?

Digital products are non-refundable because they are instantly downloadable. But if you receive a defective or corrupted file, or were charged incorrectly, we will replace or resolve it — just email lonefaisal977@gmail.com within 7 days.

How can I contact support?
