Our Story

Built in Chennai, for India’s real HR and payroll challenges.

factoHR was founded in 2016 by Aniruddh Nagodra (Co-Founder & CEO), Niraj Karelia (Co-Founder & CTO) and Aditya Nagodra (Co-Founder & Lead Innovation) — driven by a frustration shared by thousands of Indian businesses: spreadsheets that broke at 30 employees, payroll software that didn’t understand PF, ESI, PT or state-specific labour rules, and global HRMS tools that cost a fortune and still required a consultant for every change.

A team of payroll consultants, chartered accountants and product engineers got together in Rajkot, Gujarat to build something different: an HR and Payroll Software that runs payroll in 3 clicks, files PF/ESI/PT/TDS automatically, and is supported by humans who actually pick up the phone. Today factoHR operates from offices in Rajkot, Chennai, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad — with our Chennai branch dedicated to serving Tamil Nadu businesses.

Today, more than 5,000 businesses — from 12-employee startups in Guindy to 8,000-employee manufacturing groups in Sriperumbudur — run their full HR, payroll and compliance on our platform. We’re proud to be the HRMS software provider Tamil Nadu CFOs and HR heads recommend most.

What we believe

Our mission is simple: make HR and payroll feel boring — in the best way.

No more month-end stress, late filings, or angry employees. Just payroll that runs, compliance that’s done, and HR that finally has time for people. As the trusted HRMS in Chennai, we obsess over the boring stuff so your team can stop firefighting.

Speed beats features

A payroll run that takes 3 clicks instead of 30 saves your HR team 6 hours every month. We obsess over every click.

Compliance is non-negotiable

PF, ESI, PT, TDS, LWF, Shops & Establishments — we keep up with every Tamil Nadu and central rule change so you never get a notice.

Support, in your language

Tamil, English or Hindi — talk to a real person in Chennai within 30 seconds. No bots, no offshore call centres.

Honest pricing, forever

No setup fees, no “enterprise tax”, no surprise invoices. The price you see is the price you pay — for the lifetime of your contract.

What makes us different

Why Tamil Nadu’s top finance and HR teams pick us over the global brands

Six things you only get from an HR and Payroll Software Company in Chennai that’s lived through every PF cap revision and TN holiday calendar change since 2016.

01

Local compliance, deeply baked in

PF, ESI, PT (Tamil Nadu slabs), TDS, LWF and Shops & Establishments rules are pre-configured. When the Govt. revises a slab, our compliance team pushes the update overnight — you don’t lift a finger.

02

3-click payroll — really

Lock attendance → review variances → run payroll. Bank file, payslips, PF/ESI challans, Form 16 — all generated in under 90 seconds for 1,000 employees.

05

Recruitment, onboarding, attendance, payroll, expense, performance, training, helpdesk and exit. No 6 different vendors, no broken integrations, no data living in 4 spreadsheets.

06

Honest, predictable pricing

Starts at ₹30/employee/month. No setup fees, no implementation fees, no per-module add-ons. The price you sign for is the price you pay — for the life of your contract.

In their words

What HR and finance leaders in Chennai say

★★★★★

“We moved from a global HRMS to factoHR Chennai in 2019. Three things changed: our payroll cycle dropped from 5 days to 4 hours, our PF/ESI penalties went to zero, and our HR team finally has time for actual people.”

RS
Ramesh S.
CFO, Manufacturing Group • Sriperumbudur (1,200 emp)
★★★★★

“The reason we picked them is simple: they’re from Chennai, they understand TN labour rules, and when I have a question I get a call back — not a ticket number. Best HR and Payroll Software Company in Chennai hands down.”

PK
Priya K.
Head of HR, IT Services • OMR (450 emp)
