Kuzhu is an HR and payroll platform for Indian businesses. It covers 20 modules — attendance, leave, payroll, recruitment, expenses, assets and more — sharing one employee record, one approval engine and one set of reports.

Yes. Payroll computes PF, ESI, professional tax (state-wise) and TDS inside the run, and produces the registers, challans and returns your accountant expects. Payslips carry the breakup Indian employees are used to reading.

That is how it is designed. Every module can be switched on for your company independently, and what you switch on is what you are billed for. Adding one later is a setting, not a migration.

Yes. Biometric devices, shift rosters with rotation and night allowances, GPS-tagged mobile punch for field staff, and an app for employees who never open a laptop.

Per employee, per month, in rupees — quoted on your actual headcount when you book a trial, so the number you hear is the number you pay. Basic is free for life for companies up to 15 employees. Prices exclude GST; annual billing takes two months off.

Fourteen days on Starter and Growth, thirty on Enterprise — and Basic is not a trial at all: it is free for life for companies up to 15 employees. No card required. The trial is the real product, not a sandbox.

Billing follows the number of active employees on the system. People who join or leave are prorated — you never pay for seats nobody occupies.

Every company gets its own database — not a shared table with a company column. Data is hosted on servers in India. That separation is what makes an export complete and a deletion final.

On Enterprise, yes: your logo, your colours and hr.yourcompany.com with managed SSL. Your people sign in to your company, not to a vendor.

You export everything in formats you can open — spreadsheets, PDFs — at any time while subscribed and for 90 days after. Then we delete it. A system you cannot leave is not a system you should join.

Most companies are live in two to four weeks. The workspace exists the same day; the time goes into importing your data and running one parallel payroll to reconcile against your current process.

Yes — employees, salary structures, leave balances and open loans come across from spreadsheets or your previous system. We validate the import and show you exactly what needs fixing before anything goes live.

HR gets a working session. Everyone else gets a two-minute guide, and mostly does not need it — applying for leave or downloading a payslip works the way people expect it to.
