What we do

One partner for your entire India people ops.

We take the operational weight off your founding team — so your India hires feel supported, your payroll runs like clockwork and your books stay compliant while you focus on shipping product.

Talent Acquisition & Hiring

Sourcing, screening and closing high-quality engineering, product, GTM and operations talent across India — mapped to your role, budget and time-zone needs.

Onboarding & Documentation

Offer letters, contracts, background checks, ID verification, asset provisioning and Day-1 orientation — handled end-to-end.

Payroll Processing

Accurate monthly payroll runs, payslips, reimbursements and disbursements — with India-tax-compliant calculations.

HR Administration & Employee Support

Leave, attendance, appraisals, employee grievances and lifecycle events — your team gets responsive human HR support in local hours.

Statutory Compliance

PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS, gratuity and labour law filings — filed correctly and on time, every cycle.

Benefits Administration

Group health insurance, top-ups, wellness and reimbursements — designed to help you attract and retain top Indian talent.
