There has always been an allegation towards HR departments that they act as cost centers and are still light years away from developing a strategic focus. HR departments spend as much as 80-85% of their time in day-to-day employee life cycle activities like HR operations, Exit Interviews, Compensation Administration, Benefits Administration, Payroll Management, Compliances, Recruitment Process, Employee Query resolution etc. These activities are transactional, mundane and do not leave any time for the expected strategic focus and activities which can add value and ultimately to the company's bottom-line.

Our co-founder Pankaj Bansal and Shelly Singh, being seasoned HR professionals, came up with the thought of emphasizing the importance of modern day HR where the HR role is more strategic and less transactional. PeopleStrong HR Services was formed with a single minded focus of adding value to HR professionals and to their companies. The company was started in January 2006 under the aegis of Withya group (http://www.withya.com) and we have grown from strength-to strength during these years.

Our earliest investors and advisors include VC funds and who's who of the HR community in India and the core service values of the company are based on thought leadership direction provided by these eminent personalities.

PeopleStrong continues to be on a growth path. Some of the major milestones during our journey are illustrated in the below graphic.
