HR as a Service (HRaaS)

Outsourced HR operations, payroll setup, IP-protecting offer letters, employee handbooks, and POSH compliance.

Operating Engine

Complete People Operations for Growing Teams

Early-stage startups rarely need a full-time HR manager, but skipping proper HR contracts, IP assignment deeds, automated payroll, and labor compliance creates legal vulnerability. Our HRaaS desk provides virtual HR management tailored for startups.

We configure cloud payroll (Keka, RazorpayX Payroll), draft custom employment agreements with non-competes, set up POSH compliance committees, and establish performance review frameworks.
