By the numbers
Facts about how the platform is built.
We’re in private beta with a small cohort of Indian design partners — we don’t have a customer count to flex yet. What we can show is the architecture itself: every Indian statutory regime, every state PT slab, every compliance regime — built in, not billed extra.
Karnataka, Maharashtra, TN, WB, Gujarat, Telangana, Kerala, MP — and the rest.
No implementation tier, no per-feature add-ons. The price you see is the price. Enterprise and white-label deployments are quoted separately.
Customer data hosted in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1). Audit log every admin action. DPA on request.
Why EmployeeSight
Four ideas. One platform.
EmployeeSight is built around four ideas. They’re the same four ideas you’ll see referenced on every product page, every comparison, every customer story we eventually publish. They’re the brand — not the slogan.
- 01
One employee record
HR data, Work data, payroll data, document data — all on a single row, queryable across modules. The point of a platform isn't fewer tabs; it's the cross-module decisions you can finally make.
- 02
Every workflow connected
Attendance flows into payroll. Payroll flows into compliance. Expenses, letters, onboarding, and offboarding all share that one record. No re-keying, no spreadsheet bridges, no 30th-of-the-month panic.
- 03
Full workforce visibility
Time, activity, productivity, location — measured with privacy as a setting, not a slide. Private hours produce zero record on the server. The team trusts the instrument; the instrument trusts the team.
- 04
Built for India
PF, ESI, PT, TDS, Form 16, Gratuity, Bonus Act, Factories-Act overtime — built in, not billed extra. DPDP Act 2023 day-one. Customer data hosted in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) by default. Twenty-eight state PT slabs auto-applied. India is the design constraint, not the localisation file.
The unified record
Six surfaces. One record.
Every surface writes to the same employee row. No nightly sync, no merge conflicts, no “the spreadsheet says X but the dashboard says Y”. The AI reads across all six in a single query. The audit log captures every field change in one place. That’s the platform.

The platform
Six capabilities. One employee record.
The platform isn’t a bundle of integrations — it’s one database your team shares. Pick the modules you need, add the others later, never reconcile a CSV again.
01
Payroll
Indian statutory cycle closes on the 30th. Form 16 ready.
02
Attendance
Biometric, mobile, web. State-wise holiday calendars built in.
03
Onboarding
Documents, PF UAN, workspace access — auto-advances.
04
Time tracking
Manual or auto, per project, with private hours that produce zero data.
05
Productivity
90-day trend scores, not minute-by-minute surveillance.
06
Unified profile
One employee record. HR and Work data agree. Platform only.
One record. Two products.

AI
AI that does the boring parts, honestly.
We don’t ship “AI-powered” as a sticker. We ship four specific jobs AI actually does inside the platform — each one paired with the data input we use, the data we never use, and where the human stays in the loop.
01 · Payroll
Auto-flag the salary slip that's about to be wrong.
Anomaly detection on every pay cycle. Catches the off-by-one PT slab, the missing PF for a new joiner, the bonus that crossed a TDS slab. The CA gets to confirm rather than search.
02 · Attendance
Spot the team that's running on fumes.
Burnout signals across leave-balance velocity, overtime patterns, and focused-hours decline. Managers see early indicators; HR sees rolled-up trends. Both before the resignation conversation, not after.
03 · Time tracking
Categorise activity without reading anyone's screen.
Project + app categorisation runs on metadata, not content. No keystrokes captured, no screenshots required. The team trusts the model because they can see what it can and can't see.
04 · Reporting
Ask 'why did Q3 leave usage spike on the engineering team?'
Natural-language cross-module queries. Joins HR and Work data behind the scenes; surfaces the answer + the chart + the export. The export is the trust layer.
The regulatory regime
Built for the statutes nobody else takes seriously.
Most international HR tools treat Indian payroll as a plugin. We treat it as the default. Eight statutory regimes are not a feature flag — they’re the way the platform was built from week one. The day the law changes, the system uses the new rates. There is no “Indian compliance add-on.”

Feature 01 · Payroll
Payroll that doesn’t break on the 30th.
PF, ESI, PT, TDS, Form 16, Gratuity, Bonus Act, Factories-Act overtime — the boring acronyms that decide whether your engineers get paid on time. EmployeeSight handles them with the same care as the visual design.
Payroll closes on the 30th. Form 16 generates without a finance follow-up. Salary slips email themselves. The 3rd of next month stays uneventful.
- Indian compliance built in
- Auto-generated Form 16
- Bank-ready payout files
- Loss-of-pay, F&F, gratuity

Feature 02 · Workforce
Time tracking that respects your people.
Workforce intelligence shouldn’t feel like surveillance. EmployeeSight shows your team exactly what is and isn’t tracked — and lets them mark private hours that produce no record at all.
Productivity insights work because the team trusts the instrument. Trust is a setting, not a slide.
- Private hours, no record
- Per-employee opt-out
- Screenshots off by default
- Plain-English ‘what’s tracked’ page

One source of truth for every employee.
Buy the platform and the two products stop pretending to be separate. HR data and Work data live on a single employee record. Attendance flows into payroll automatically. Productivity reports respect leave and holidays.
The point of a platform isn’t fewer tabs. It’s the cross-module decisions you can finally make.

- Cross-module reports

Industries
Built for the teams Indian payroll forgot.
International HR tools default to US payroll. International workforce tools default to surveillance. We built for the eight Indian sectors with the most awkward HR workflows — manufacturing rosters, BPO shift biometrics, IT-services billable hours, multi-store retail, and the rest. The workflows are different, and we know it.

03 · Why teams switch
Teams move to EmployeeSight when the patchwork stops paying off.
01
One vendor, two surfaces.
HR runs the back office. Work runs the front. They share the same employee, the same payroll, the same source of truth. No reconciliation, no duplicate setup.
02
Indian payroll, fluent.
PF, ESI, PT, TDS, Form 16, Bonus Act, Factories-Act overtime — handled with the same care as the visual design. No add-ons. No spreadsheets to keep parity.
03
Privacy as a product feature.
Workforce visibility you can defend to your team. Private hours, opt-outs, screenshots-off-by-default. Trust is a setting, not a slide.
04
Implementation in days.
Cleaner data model, fewer integrations to wire up. Most teams switch from spreadsheets or two separate tools inside a single sprint.

04 · How we compare
How we compare.
We’ll tell you where the other tool wins. Honest comparisons across the three categories teams ask us about most.
Questions
The eight things teams ask us first.
What does EmployeeSight actually do?
Two products on one employee record. HR runs payroll, attendance, onboarding, documents, bonus and OT calculation — with full Indian compliance built in. Work runs time tracking, productivity insights, and project hours with privacy-first defaults. The platform plan stitches them together with one login, one report layer, and 30% off.
How is this different from Keka or TimeChamp or BambooHR?
One employee record across HR and monitoring — competitors bolt two products together; EmployeeSight runs payroll and time tracking on the same record. Monitoring is privacy-first: screenshots off by default, keystrokes never captured. Implementation fees are ₹0. And data stays in India: DPDP Act alignment with hosting in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1). Full breakdowns on /compare/keka, /compare/timechamp, and /compare/bamboohr.
Is Indian payroll really built in or is it an add-on?
Built in. EPF, ESI, Professional Tax (all state slabs), TDS, Form 16, Gratuity, Bonus Act 1965, and Factories-Act overtime. Rates update automatically when amendments happen. No plugin to install.
What about privacy on the Workforce product?
Screenshots off by default. Keystrokes never captured. Each employee has a one-click private-hours toggle that produces zero data — no app categories, no idle detection. Full posture on /products/work.
How much does EmployeeSight cost?
Per employee per month: HR ₹299 / Platform ₹499 (save 30%) / Work ₹399. Annual billing saves another 20%. No setup fees, no per-feature add-ons. Full pricing at /pricing.
Where is the data hosted?
All customer data is hosted in Mumbai (AWS ap-south-1). Data does not leave the region. DPDP Act 2023 compliant.
How fast can my team move from our current HR setup?
Most teams complete migration in 1–2 weeks. We accept CSV imports for the standard fields and run the first payroll cycle for you on the house. Concrete migration steps for each major competitor are on the relevant /compare page.
Can I try EmployeeSight before talking to sales?
Yes — start a 14-day free trial; we set up your workspace within one business day, no card. Or use the ROI calculator or our free salary / gratuity / HRA calculators to see the math first.
Stop juggling tools. Start seeing your team.
