AllAboutHR Talk to us

Since 2019 · India

Every business runs on two engines — its people and its systems. We fix both.

Most owners work hard enough. What they don’t have is a system. We sort out your HR, build the software you are missing, and join the two up — so the business runs properly without you in the middle of every decision.

Two engines, joined up On the left, a panel listing people with their status. On the right, a panel showing system activity as a bar chart and status rows. Between them sits a looped badge with dashed lines running to both, showing the two being joined together.

The problem

Three problems. Most owners have at least two of them.

They look like separate problems. They are usually the same one — nobody wrote the process down, and no system keeps track of it.

Everything waits for one deskThree people on the left send requests along curved lines into a stack of paperwork, which all arrives at a single person on the right.
What owners tell us

“Everything waits for me”

Leave, hiring, salary, a complaint — nothing moves until you decide it. You cannot take a week off without the business slowing down.

What owners tell us

“I can’t see what’s going on”

You have to ask three people to find out where an order stands. By the time a problem reaches you, it costs far more to fix.

What owners tell us

“My good people are leaving”

Appraisals are guesswork, so pay rises feel unfair. You find out the real reason someone left in their exit interview — too late.

Not sure where to start

Answer two questions. We’ll tell you where to start.

Sometimes the honest answer is that you don’t need us yet. We’ll say so.

Question 1 of 2

What worries you most right now?

Two Engines

Check your people and your systems in the same six weeks.

One project, two reports, one meeting with you. We show you what is actually wrong on both sides — and the order to fix it in, cheapest and fastest first. Nobody else in the Indian mid-market offers both together.

AllAboutHR · Strategic HR consulting

Fix the people problem. Then prove it stayed fixed.

We call it the Growth Loop. Five steps that take you from “something is wrong” to “here is the proof it improved”. Most HR firms hand you a report and leave. The last step of ours is checking the numbers a year later.

The Growth LoopFive stages arranged in a circle: 1 See, know what’s true. 2 Shape, design the system. 3 Source, bring the right people in. 4 Strengthen, enable and engage them. 5 Sustain, perform, reward and prove. Arrows run clockwise from stage five back to stage one, so the loop closes.1SEEKnow what's true2SHAPEDesign the system3SOURCEBring the right people in4STRENGTHENEnable and engage them5SUSTAINPerform, reward, proveTHEGROWTHLOOP

Two things sit alongside all five steps. Managed means we run the HR work for you instead of just advising — part-time or fully outsourced. Build is Kinexus: when a step needs software you don’t have, we build it rather than leaving you stuck.

Why it compounds

Why this works better than a one-off project.

01

We find the real problem

A six-week check-up of your HR. Fifteen areas, each scored, with the evidence shown. Most owners are surprised by which one is worst.

02

We design the fix

Clear job levels, honest rating scales, rules your managers can actually follow. Written for your business, not copied from a template.

03

The software makes it stick

A policy in a folder gets ignored. The same rules inside the system your managers use every day get followed.

04

We check it worked

Nine to twelve months later we run the same check-up again and compare. If the numbers didn’t move, we say so.

How we work

Four promises. Hold us to them.

Numbers you can check

Every score comes with the evidence behind it. Where your data doesn’t exist, that is the finding — we won’t invent a number to fill the gap.

You get the person who did the work

The consultant who analysed your business is the one you keep talking to. You are not handed to a delivery team after signing.

Every promise has a number attached

We won’t promise “transformation”. We will tell you what we expect to change, by how much, and when we will measure it again.

We stay until your team can run it

We do not hand over a document and disappear. We train your people, sit in the first cycles with them, and stay involved as it beds in.

Alvora — an AllAboutHR platform

No more numbers you can’t explain.

Four pieces of software that work together. A score only moves when someone submits proof and a manager approves it — so when an employee asks “why did I get this rating?”, you can show them, line by line. That single habit removes most appraisal arguments.

Evidence becomes a ratingA screen listing approved pieces of evidence, connected by a line to a rating card showing 4.2, which is itself linked to the source document beneath it. 4.2
Alvora HRMS

Alvora HRMS

Employee records, leave, attendance and shifts, goals, appraisals, increments and letters — in one place. Your HR team stops chasing spreadsheets and your managers stop asking them to.

Built

Alvora Hire

Alvora Hire

Every CV in one pipeline, no duplicates, no candidate lost in someone’s inbox. Interview notes are captured as you go, so shortlists are based on what was actually said.

Built

Alvora Gig

Alvora Gig

For contractors and vendor staff — joining papers, compliance documents, timesheets and payments. Useful when a big part of your workforce isn’t on your payroll.

In build

Alvora Learning

Alvora Learning

Training delivered and tracked, using the same skill list your appraisals use. So you can see whether training actually changed anyone’s rating.

In build

We mark what is built and what is still being built. You should never find out during a demo that a feature doesn’t exist yet.

The two mechanics

From goal to pay rise, without a gap.

Most HR software stops at the rating and leaves the pay decision to a spreadsheet. That gap is exactly where staff stop trusting the process.

How a decision flows through Alvora
StepWhat happensWhat you can show later
GoalSet from the company target, agreed with the employee, then lockedWho changed the target, when, and why
ProofThe employee submits evidence as they go; duplicates are caughtThe documents behind the number
RatingWorked out from the result using rules you set, not a manager’s moodA plain-English explanation the employee can read themselves
Review meetingManagers compare ratings side by side and adjust the odd ones outEvery change, with the reason given
IncrementBudget checked, rules applied, approvals collectedA letter and a payroll entry that match the decision exactly

Where AI sits, and where it does not

AI helps. A person decides.

What it does

  • Writes a first draft of a job advert you then edit
  • Points out a vague goal before a manager approves it
  • Answers “how much leave do I have left?” from your own policy, with the source
  • Explains a number in plain words — the maths is done by code, not by AI

What it never does

  • Decide anyone’s rating. The number that affects pay is chosen by a named person
  • Read faces, voices or moods. We have not built it and cannot add it later
  • Watch how people work and use it against them
  • Calculate leave balances or pay. That stays ordinary, checkable code

Every AI feature can be switched off, and everything still works without it. You are never stuck if the AI is wrong or unavailable.

Kinexus Systems — an AllAboutHR company

Most owners aren’t short of effort. They’re short of systems.

We build the software your business is missing, and add AI to the software you already use. The result is simple: you can see where things stand without asking anyone, and your team stops re-typing the same information into three places. We work with manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare, professional services and recruitment firms.

Scattered information becomes one systemThree small tilted panels on the left, each holding fragments of information, flow along curved lines into a single larger panel on the right showing one organised list and a small bar chart.
Step 1 · Find out

Baseline

“I don’t know where anything stands until I ask three people.”

You are running the business on memory, messages and spreadsheets. It works — until something slips, and by the time you hear about it the cheap fix has gone.

What we do

We follow one job all the way through your business, from enquiry to payment, and write down where the information actually sits at every step — which sheet, which chat group, whose head. Then we count what the re-typing and the chasing costs you each week.

What you end up with

  • A clear picture of where your information really lives
  • The hours per week you are losing, in a number you can act on
  • A short list of what to fix first, cheapest and fastest at the top
  • A small working version built on your own data — before you spend anything

Fixed price. Fixed dates. Ends in a decision — sometimes that decision is “you don’t need us yet”.

Step 2 · Build

Foundation

“Every department has its own spreadsheet, and none of them agree.”

Nobody can tell you today’s real position without a phone call. Month-end is a reconstruction exercise, and your costs are a guess until it is far too late to change them.

What we do

We build the system your business is missing and put everything in one place — orders, jobs, stock, staff, costs. It is built on proven open-source foundations, so you own it outright and are never locked into us or into a licence that climbs every year.

What you end up with

  • One screen that shows where every job actually stands, live
  • Paperwork that fills itself in instead of being re-typed
  • Real cost and margin per job, not an estimate at month-end
  • Your team trained to run it, with the handover notes included

Quoted as a project, scoped to what Baseline found — so you never pay for parts you do not need.

Step 3 · Automate

Agents

“My team spends a day a week moving information from one place to another.”

The systems work. The people are the glue between them — copying figures, chasing missing documents, sending the same reminder for the fourth time. That is expensive, and nobody enjoys it.

What we do

We put AI to work on the repetitive jobs inside the systems you already have — matching documents, chasing what is missing, preparing the routine paperwork. Anything unusual stops and goes to a named person, with a note explaining why.

What you end up with

  • Routine work handled overnight, not on Monday morning
  • Your people back on the work that needs judgement
  • A record of every action taken and who approved it
  • A switch to turn it off, and a normal way of working underneath

Priced per job automated, not per user. You pay for hours saved, so the sum either works or we do not build it.

Three principles

Three things we say out loud.

AI is not the answer to everything

We only use AI where we can show you the hours it saves. If a simple rule or a better-designed form would do the same job for less money, we will build that instead — even though the AI version would earn us more.

We show you, before you pay

Before you commit to anything, we build a small working version using your own data. You judge the real thing, not a slide about it.

We are there with you at every step

From the first walk-through to the day it goes live and long after. You get the same people throughout — not a sales team, then a delivery team, then a support queue.

Guardrails on every agent we ship

What we promise about the AI we build.

The promiseHow we make sure of it
It cannot do anything you can’t undoWe simply don’t give it the ability. It is not a rule we ask it to follow
It can’t be tricked by text it readsWords hidden in a supplier email or a CV are treated as text, never as commands
Personal data never reaches the AIAadhaar, PAN and bank details are stripped out first, and we test that it works
You can see what it didEvery action is recorded, along with the person who approved it
You can turn it offEvery job has a normal, non-AI way of getting done as well

Packages

Six packages. You always know exactly what you get.

From ten people upwards. Each package says what problem it solves, exactly what is included, and when it stops being the right fit — so you never pay for more than you need, and you know in advance when it is time to move up. Message us and we will price it for your headcount.

Six packages, one right fitThree package cards side by side, with the middle one raised forward and marked with a tick, showing it is the one chosen.
“I don’t really know what I’m supposed to be filing — and I’m hoping nobody checks.”
Essentials
Up to 10 employees

We take the legal paperwork off your desk. Filings happen on time, the policies exist, and you stop worrying about it.

  • Compliance calendar with reminders, so nothing is missed
  • POSH policy and committee set up properly
  • Registration help — EPF, ESIC, Shops & Establishment, PT
  • Contract, appointment and relieving letter templates
  • Core policies — leave, conduct, attendance, hours
  • Alvora HRMS Essentials — records, leave, documents, self-service
Deliberately capped at 10 people, which is why it is this cheap. At 11 you move to Comply.
“If a labour inspector walked in tomorrow, I couldn’t prove a thing.”
Comply
11 – 500 employees

Every legal requirement met, with the record to prove it — and one named person answerable if anyone asks.

  • Policies written for your business, not copied from a template
  • Labour law guidance — EPF, ESIC, Gratuity, Bonus, Maternity
  • POSH end to end, including the annual return
  • A record you can hand straight to an inspector
  • Full letter set, plus written joining and exit processes
  • Payroll support and statutory filings
Move up when the paperwork is sorted but everything still runs through you.
“Nothing moves without me. I can’t take a week off.”
Operate
11 – 500 employees

HR runs on a system instead of on you. Leave, attendance, payroll and hiring happen without anyone needing your sign-off.

  • Everything in Comply
  • Alvora HRMS Core — leave, attendance, shifts, payroll, documents
  • Staff do their own leave and claims, on their phone
  • Clear job levels, grades and who reports to whom
  • A headcount plan and department targets
  • Hiring at 6% instead of 8.33%, and cheaper background checks
  • Included free — a check of whether your other systems are ready
Move up when the system works but you still can’t tell who is doing well.
“My best people are leaving, and I only find out why in the exit interview.”
Perform
21 – 500 employees

You can see who is doing well and show why. Appraisals stop being an argument and start being a record.

  • Everything in Operate
  • Goals and appraisals in the system, linked to evidence
  • A skills framework with honest rating levels
  • We run the review cycle and the moderation meetings for you
  • Staff surveys and eNPS, with the actions tracked
  • Why people are leaving — analysed, not guessed
  • Training your managers to run a review that stands up to challenge
Move up when you can see performance but pay still doesn’t follow it.
“Increment season is a fight, and I can’t explain how the numbers were decided.”
Partner
41 – 500 employees

Pay and promotion decisions you can defend to anyone who asks — and proof, in numbers, that things actually improved.

  • Everything in Perform
  • Increment cycles run in the system — budgets, rules, letters, payroll
  • Alvora Hire — the recruitment platform
  • Salary bands, so you know who is paid oddly and why
  • A clear increment matrix instead of a negotiation
  • Pay gap analysis, with a plan to fix what it finds
  • Yearly re-measurement against your starting numbers
When you build your own HR team, you move to Counsel rather than leaving.
“I have an HR team, but nothing they send me helps me make a decision.”
Counsel
251+ employees

Your own HR team, made sharper. We advise, benchmark and measure. We do not run it for you.

  • A senior advisor on retainer for strategy and escalations
  • Alvora HRMS at full scale, with your team trained to admin it
  • A yearly check-up of the whole organisation, and a yearly re-measure
  • Org design and operating model advice
  • Executive search at preferential rates
  • Compared against your own past numbers, not borrowed industry averages
The top of the ladder. From here we go deeper rather than bigger.

Pricing depends on your headcount, and every quote comes with a table showing exactly what you get at that size — how many visits, how many review cycles, how fast we answer. We show it to you before you sign, not after.

Kinexus Systems

Systems work is quoted, not subscribed.

Baseline is a fixed price for a fixed piece of work. Foundation is quoted as a project, with a monthly support figure. Agents are priced per job automated. We quote against what we actually find, so you never buy a package with parts you don’t need.

About

We started in HR. Then we started building the software.

We have worked with Indian businesses since 2019. Alvora and Kinexus exist because the same thing kept happening — we would give good advice, and there was no system in the business able to carry it out.

Advice and the system, at the same tableTwo people sitting at a table with a speech panel above them and documents in front of them.

Our reports kept telling owners things they could not act on. The findings were right. The problem was that nothing in the business recorded the thing that needed to change. A neat appraisal framework designed in a workshop does not survive in a company that still tracks attendance on a shared spreadsheet.

So we built the software ourselves. And then we built the layer underneath it, for businesses whose real problem was that they had no system at all. That is the whole story — and it is why the three parts of the company work together instead of competing for the same client.

Who you are dealing with

Two founders. Forty-four years between them.

One has spent a career deciding who to hire. The other has spent a career building the systems those decisions run on. That is the whole company in one sentence.
