Company · Bengaluru, India

Built by practitioners, for practitioners.

PeopleOS was born from a simple frustration: Indian payroll is absurdly complex, and every existing tool gets the math wrong. We decided to fix that.

Our story

PeopleOS was founded in Bengaluru by ORIS Intelligence Pvt. Ltd. with a singular mission: build the payroll engine India deserves. One that treats every statutory deduction as deterministic code, not a configuration table that drifts over time.

Our founding team spent years in the trenches of Indian HR tech, watching payroll errors cascade into PF challan mismatches, ESI contribution disputes, and TDS discrepancies that surface during audits. We knew there had to be a better way.

PeopleOS is that better way. An event-sourced, immutable ledger for every payroll run. Hash-chain verification for tamper-evidence. Property-based tests that guarantee net pay always equals gross minus deductions. 586 tests passing. Zero tolerance for rounding errors.

Values

What we ship by.

Accuracy first

Every calculation is accurate to the paisa. We don’t round up. We don’t round down. We get it right.

Transparency

Every payslip carries a calculation trace. Every payroll run is immutable. Every change is audited.

Compliance by design

Labour Code 2025, DPDP Act, 36-state PT coverage — compliance isn’t a feature, it’s the architecture.

Speed

Under 3 seconds per employee for a full payroll run. Deploy in under 5 minutes. No implementation consultants.
