This expansion will also help in accelerating our vision of growth and enabling an even better customer service experience for our clients.”
During its journey, Keka ascertained the industry’s need for an enhanced, tech-enabled, real-time and instantaneous client service, essential in the current pandemic-induced remote working set-up. Its employee expansion is a crucial part of this vision to serve customers better.

About Keka:
Keka is on a mission to create inspiring digital workplaces where employees can do their best work. It all started when Vijay Y and Sashi P wanted to implement HR software in their growing IT services organization.

Thus in 2015, the Keka product journey began. Unlike the traditional HR systems, Keka focused on solving complex HR problems in a simple and intuitive way. The product enables organizations to manage their HR processes from hire to retire while ensuring an awesome user experience for the employees. This is the major reason Keka has been embraced by 3750+ organizations within just 4.5 years.
