HRMS

A high-growth tech startup.

Software & technology — anonymised case study. Sector and outcomes are real; client name withheld.

The problem

What the customer was facing.

Hiring had outpaced HR. There were no documented processes, no policy library, and payroll was running unstructured — compliance was reactive and the salary structures weren’t tax-efficient enough to compete for senior talent. The founders wanted HR foundations laid down before the next funding round, not after.

How we engaged

The approach we ran.

We implemented Keka end-to-end — policies, attendance, leave, payroll automation — and designed tax-efficient salary structures inside the statutory ruleset. The work covered process design as much as software configuration; HR wasn’t inheriting a tool, they were inheriting a way of operating.
