- Reactive HR decisions instead of structured ones.
- Attrition and culture strain surfacing as headcount outgrows informal management.
- Org structure and reporting lines that haven’t kept pace with growth.

FAQs on Fractional CHRO & Advisory
What's included in HR as a Service?
HR as a Service is our umbrella term for virtual and fractional HR leadership — strategic guidance on org design, talent strategy, performance frameworks, and people decisions, delivered at an institutional level. It's advisory, not payroll processing or statutory/compliance filing.
How is this different from Fractional CHRO?
They're not two different tiers. "HR as a Service" describes the category of what we do; Fractional CHRO is how we deliver it: a structured, senior-level engagement. never locked into needing us indefinitely.
What's the minimum commitment?
Engagements start at ₹3L per month, structured as 6-month retainers or project-based mandates. We don't offer retainers below this, hourly support, or ad hoc engagements.
Do you support small businesses or early-stage startups?
Not currently. This practice is built for funded, growth-stage companies and established enterprises that are ready for senior HR leadership at an institutional level. If you're pre-funding, bootstrapped, or looking for a lower-cost or part-time HR resource, this isn't the right fit yet.
Can this work for a fully remote or multi-location team?
Yes. Our virtual HR leadership model works for distributed, multi-location teams; this is strategic guidance and counsel, delivered at the same senior level regardless of location.
