The ultimate OS for
people, culture, and global
growth

Growth brings new challenges: scaling people ops while being globally-compliant, building a culture people want to join, and creating an environment where they can do their best work.
Keka brings all three together in one platform.

Driving people excellence
across all pillars

Keka helps you scale efficiently, stay compliant, and create a workplace where people thrive.

Automated payroll and statutory compliance

Focus on growth while we handle your payroll and compliance

Keka manages multi-entity payroll and multi-state compliance from a single platform, automatically updating statutory requirements and generating filings. Your team spends less time navigating regulations, while you gain confidence that growth won’t create any payroll or compliance risk.

Robust systems for scaling people ops

Scale confidently without people-ops bottlenecks

Reliable attendance tracking, structured leave processes, smooth onboarding and exits, and well-defined workplace policies ensure critical people operations run on systems, not individuals. With Keka, you can remove such operational bottlenecks, keeping your teams productive and the business moving as it scales.

Performance and people development

Hire, nurture and retain high-performing teams

Build a high-performing team from the get go . Attract the right talent, set clear goals, run fair performance reviews, enable continuous feedback, develop future leaders, and close skill gaps; so high-performance becomes the default operating standard across your org.

Culture and engagement

Create a workplace employees love being a part of

Build a stronger sense of belonging through recognition, rewards, pulse surveys, eNPS tracking, social walls, and celebrations. You gain real-time visibility into your people’s sentiment, enabling you to respond proactively rather than reactively.

Delightful and easy-to-use

An intuitive app experience for company-wide adoption

Keka is built around ease of use. From clocking in and accessing payslips to approvals, feedback, and employee requests, every workflow is designed to be intuitive. And with the mobile app, the same experience travels with them, making HR accessible wherever work happens. The result is higher adoption across the org and fewer routine dependencies on HR.

Now in Beta

We reimagined Keka to be
AI-native

Keka’s AI Native platform gives you the people intelligence to make people
decisions the boardroom can stand behind.

People Graph

People decisions today run on fragmented signals: payroll in one system, performance in another, engagement in a third. When signals are disconnected, responses are slow and context is incomplete. Keka’s People Graph connects every signal: role, skills, performance, engagement, cost, policy state into one employee profile.
 
 

Ask Keka

Ask Keka makesHR intelligence conversational. Employees ask about promotion readiness and get a direct answer. Managers ask who needs attention and get context. HR asks about policy gaps and gets automation. CXOs ask about workforce cost and get live data. Every query pulls from live connected data and translates into action on mobile, Slack, or Teams
 
 

Embedded AI

Connected data doesn’t just power today’s decisions. It predicts tomorrow’s problems. Employees showing attrition risk are flagged before they resign. Teams trending toward disengagement are surfaced before productivity drops. Payroll anomalies are caught before they become compliance issues.
