Overview
greytHR is a cloud-based HR and payroll platform covering the full employee lifecycle — recruitment, onboarding, payroll, attendance, leave, performance, and offboarding — built specifically around Indian and Middle Eastern statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS, professional tax). It includes an AI assistant (NAVOS) and an in-app third-party marketplace (Unite) for benefits, lending, and background verification.
The problem greytHR solves
Indian and Middle Eastern businesses running HR and payroll manually — or on generic global HR platforms not built for local statutory rules — struggle with PF/ESI/TDS/professional-tax compliance, fragmented attendance/leave/payroll systems, and no self-service for employees. greytHR consolidates these into one cloud HRMS purpose-built for regional compliance, cutting manual compliance risk and administrative overhead for SMEs.

How to evaluate greytHR

Check that this context matches the volume, roles, and processes your team needs it to support.
