Help us understand the HR Tech Industry and how this has evolved over the years.

The role of HR has evolved a lot over the last thirty years, and HR technology, which exists to support HR has also evolved drastically to keep pace.

HR’s role has completely transformed, from a support function, to a strategic business function. And as a result, HR tech has also transformed from being a system of record in the 90’s to being systems of engagement and intelligence in this decade. As time passes, the role of HR technology in acquiring, retaining and developing talent, and managing the overall workforce in organizations across all industries will only increase.

According to a recent report global HR Technology Market size is projected to reach USD 35.68 billion in 2028. Your take on what will be the market share of Indian Companies.

With time, the world is taking notice of Indian SaaS companies across all industries. Companies like Zoho, Freshworks, Wingify, Chargebee, Zenoti etc are all SaaS companies which originated in India and are now market leaders across the globe. We believe Indian HR tech companies will play a pivotal role in global HR SaaS adoption and growth globally.
