A purpose-built HRMS for growing Indian businesses — PF, ESI, EDLI, PT, gratuity, leave, and attendance, all automated on one simple platform.
One miscalculated PF challan, one missed ESI deadline, one wrong leave encashment — and a routine inspection turns into months of penalties, back-dues, and employee disputes.
12% p.a. interest + damages up to 25% of arrears on every late deposit.
Labour Codes now live — PF & gratuity liabilities up 25–50% for most companies.
Full & final settlement now mandated within 2 working days of any exit.
90% of Indian HR teams still rely on spreadsheets alongside their HRMS.
A market-wide review reveals a consistent pattern: the HRMS products Indian businesses pay most for are failing on the things that matter most.
