If you're running a business in India, chances are your HR software makes you want to scream. The interface looks like it was designed by someone who's never actually used software. Simple tasks take five clicks when they should take one. And don't even get us started on trying to calculate payroll with all the Indian compliance requirements.
You've probably tried the "market leaders"—those expensive enterprise systems that promise everything but deliver a confusing mess of menus, outdated workflows, and features you'll never use. Or maybe you went with the cheap option that technically works but feels like using a calculator from the 1990s.
Here's the truth: You deserve better. Your team deserves better. And Indian businesses deserve HR software that actually respects their time and intelligence.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Most HR software in the Indian market suffers from at least three of these problems:
Clunky interfaces. Confusing navigation. Forms that require 15 fields when 3 would do. If your software looks and feels outdated, your team will avoid using it— and you can't blame them.
HR software should help you manage your people, not just track IDs and payroll codes. Where's the focus on employee experience? Where's the intuitive design that makes people actually want to use the system?
Ever spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to approve a leave request? Or had to call support just to generate a simple report? Bad UX isn't just annoying—it's expensive. Every minute wasted is money lost.
PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS—these aren't optional add-ons. They're legal requirements. Yet most HR tools either don't support them properly or charge you extra for "compliance modules." Seriously?
Enterprise HR suites cost lakhs per year and require a team of consultants just to set up. Budget tools are cheap for a reason—they're barely functional. Why isn't there something in the middle that just works?
Here's our philosophy: HR software should be a joy to use. Not just "acceptable." Not "good enough." It should make your life easier, not harder.
When you log in every morning, you should feel confident that your payroll is accurate, your compliance is handled, and your team has everything they need to do their best work. You shouldn't be wrestling with spreadsheets or panicking about tax deadlines.
That's the standard we're building to. And if you agree with this vision, you're going to love what we're creating.
We're not just another HR tool—we're building something fundamentally different. Here's what sets us apart:
Every feature is designed with Indian businesses in mind. PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS—all built-in, not bolted on. No expensive "localization" fees. No workarounds. Just software that understands how business actually works in India.
We obsess over user experience. Every screen is clean, every workflow is logical, and every feature is where you'd expect it to be. If your grandma could figure it out, we've done our job.
Employee management, payroll, attendance, leave, recruitment, performance reviews—everything in one platform. No more juggling five different tools and praying the data syncs properly.
Starting at ₹4,999/month for up to 50 employees. That's less than the cost of one administrative employee's monthly salary—and it'll save you far more in time and headaches.
When you need help, you talk to a real person who actually understands your business—not a bot reading from a script.
We've built six core modules that cover everything a growing business needs:
Complete employee profiles, document management, org charts, and directory—all in one place.
Automated salary calculation with PF, ESI, Professional Tax, and TDS built-in. Generate payslips in seconds.
Track attendance, manage leave requests, and handle shift scheduling—all with automated approval workflows.
Post jobs, track candidates, and onboard new hires with automated checklists and document collection.
Set goals, conduct reviews, and track performance over time—with templates that actually make sense.
Generate compliance reports, payroll summaries, and analytics dashboards in just a few clicks.
No hidden fees. No "contact us for pricing" nonsense. Here's what it costs:
Up to 50 employees
Core HR, Payroll, Attendance & Leave Management
Up to 250 employees
Everything in Startup + Recruitment, Performance, and Advanced Reporting
Unlimited employees
Everything + Custom Integrations, API Access, Dedicated Account Manager
We're building something special. Something that actually respects your time and intelligence. If you're tired of clunky, outdated HR tools, we'd love to show you what the future looks like.
