How quickly can a startup go live?

Most teams are live in a day — add employees, set pay and compliance, and run the first payroll the same week.

Does it handle ESOPs and variable pay?

Yes. Equity, bonuses and revisions are applied in payroll with arrears and tax computed correctly.

Is it compliant from the first employee?

Yes. PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS are handled from the first payroll across every state you hire in.

Can it manage a remote, multi-state team?

Yes. Employees across states each get the right compliance, while payroll runs for the whole team at once.

Will it scale as we grow?

Yes. The same platform grows from a handful of people to hundreds, so there is no migration later.

Does it keep records investors and auditors want?

Yes. Payslips, registers and statutory reports are always ready for funding rounds and audits.
