Founder Collections
Women-led HR tech startups in India
Hiring, upskilling, payroll, background checks and the software that runs the people function.
HR tech lives next to a problem every company has and few solve well: finding people, paying them right, and helping them grow. The women here build across that whole arc, from hiring platforms and background verification to upskilling and payroll rails. It is not a category that trends, and that seems to suit the founders in it. Several have sold deep into large enterprises, or been acquired by the very platforms they once set out to compete with.
