What it is

A simple HR web app for small companies that have no HR team. The owner sends short pulse surveys, staff can raise concerns anonymously, teammates can recognise each other, and managers run light goal check-ins. It also offers checklists for onboarding new hires and exit interviews for people who leave. An AI layer can read survey answers and summarise the mood. You build it on a standard web stack with a hosted database, and a free tier draws small teams in.

The problem it solves

In a team of fifteen, a good employee quits and the owner learns why only in the exit chat. Big HR platforms cost too much and have too many features for a small business. Owners want an early warning when morale drops and a simple routine that keeps staff feeling heard.

Who it suits

  • Developers or no-code builders with some HR experience
  • Founders who run a small team and feel this pain
  • HR consultants who want a product to offer clients

How it makes money

  • Free plan for up to 5 users with basic surveys
  • Starter plan at ₹999 per month for up to 25 users
  • Growth plan at ₹2,499 per month for up to 75 users with AI insights
  • Custom enterprise plans, branding add-ons and optional HR consulting

How to test it this month

  1. 1Run a manual version first: send a five-question Google Form to three small companies you know, then give each owner a summary.
  2. 2Ask those owners which part they would pay ₹999 a month for, then build only that, such as surveys plus an anonymous box.
  3. 3Put the first version in front of 20 agency and startup owners in your city and offer a 30 day free run for feedback.

What to watch out for

Anonymous feedback is not anonymous in a team of five, and staff stop being honest if they think the owner can tell who wrote what. Employee data is sensitive, so you need clear privacy practices. Small firms cancel quickly when money is tight, and many owners ignore the survey results. Avoid presenting it as HR or legal advice.
