Keka Technologies Private Limited

Overview

Keka develops cloud software for human resources and payroll. Its platform brings together employee records, attendance, leave, hiring and performance. Payroll can use data from the same system, reducing the need to transfer attendance and salary inputs between separate tools. WestBridge Capital describes its customer focus as midsize organisations. [1] [2] [3]

Company identity & key facts

The India business identifies itself as Keka Technologies Private Limited. Keka and Keka HR are brand names, while HRMS describes the type of software. The company lists Gachibowli in Hyderabad as its home base. Its public company material gives inconsistent dates for the venture and product launch, so the timeline distinguishes those accounts from statutory incorporation. [1] [4] [5]

History & milestones

Keka’s company information page dates its origins to 2014 and the product’s entry to 2015. Its funding announcement describes a 2016 launch, and WestBridge also uses 2016. The 2022 announcement says the business bootstrapped before the Series A and identifies 2017 as the year it reached 100 customers. This history follows the source-specific dates without assigning an incorporation year. [3] [5] [6]

How the business makes money

Keka sells subscriptions for its HR platform. Its pricing page describes Foundation, Strength and Growth plans with different feature sets, alongside separate offerings for hiring and professional services workflows. Subscription plan design explains how the service is sold. It does not reveal revenue by product, discounts, margins or the mix of customers on each tier. [2] [7]

Businesses & operating activities

The core employee system maintains records and supports attendance, leave and approvals. Payroll processes salary inputs and deductions, while hiring tools support candidate tracking. Performance tools address goals and reviews. Its professional services automation offering addresses project time and resource management. These are product lines rather than disclosed financial reporting segments. [1] [2] [7] [8]

Products, services & brands

Keka HR is the umbrella brand. People OS describes its connected HR platform, and the product pages also identify payroll, recruitment and professional services automation capabilities. HR Katalyst is a Keka-branded event series for HR professionals. Its events provide a separate channel for practitioner engagement. [2] [7] [9] [10]

Major entities & relationships

The contact page names Keka Technologies Private Limited in India, Keka Inc. in the United States and Keka Solutions L.L.C. in the United Arab Emirates. These are public contact identities. The contact page does not establish ownership percentages, the complete group structure or which entity contracts for every service. [4] [11]

Leadership & governance

The company identifies Vijay Yalamanchili as founder and CEO. Its company information page also lists Tapan Acharya as Chief Revenue Officer and Manish Mittal as Chief Product Officer. These are company-published executive roles. They do not establish the composition of the Indian entity’s statutory board or delegated authorities. [5] [6] [12]

Locations & operating footprint

Keka’s Hyderabad home base is at Vasavi Sky City, Telecom Nagar, Gachibowli. The contact directory also lists Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and New Delhi, plus international contacts in the United States and UAE. Keka’s contact page gives different postal codes in its two Hyderabad entries, so this profile uses the building and locality and links to the official contact page. [4]

Financial context & how to read it

Keka announced a US$57 million Series A from WestBridge Capital in November 2022. It also reported crossing US$750,000 in annual recurring revenue in 2017. The investment amount is financing. ARR is a company-reported operating measure and is distinct from annual recognised revenue. The primary sources reviewed do not provide a current audited revenue, profit and cash-flow series for the Indian entity. [3] [6]

Ownership, listings & investors

WestBridge publicly lists Keka as a portfolio investment and dates its Series A investment to 2022. The company describes itself as private. These disclosures establish the named investor and round, while the current cap table, voting rights and ownership percentages are outside the reviewed evidence. [3] [5] [6]

Strategy & recent developments

The 2022 financing announcement highlighted R&D, product development and customer support. The current product materials show separate Indian and US payroll offerings and a focus on connecting HR data with payroll and workforce workflows. The 2026 HR Katalyst programme shows how Keka engages HR practitioners alongside its software business. [2] [6] [8] [10] [13]

People, employment & work culture

Keka’s careers page provides its own description of benefits and working culture and links to vacancies. Roles, locations and benefits may vary. The product pages also use metrics about employees managed by customer organisations. Those metrics should be read as platform usage, separate from Keka’s internal headcount. [2] [5] [14]

Social responsibility & sustainability

The reviewed sources describe practitioner events and employee benefits. These are useful for understanding professional engagement and workplace offerings. They do not establish a dedicated CSR programme, audited environmental targets or measured sustainability performance. [10] [14]

Risks & matters to monitor

Payroll and HR systems hold sensitive employee data and support time-critical pay runs. Access controls, data migration and jurisdiction-specific payroll rules therefore matter when assessing the platform. Keka publishes its security practices and contractual terms. These considerations concern the product category and do not allege incidents. [8] [11] [15]

Reports & research documents

Use the corporate overview for the business history, the investor portfolio and dated funding release for the Series A, and the official contact page for office details. Use pricing, payroll and security pages for product due diligence. Company usage figures and product claims are self-reported. [1] [3] [4] [6] [7] [8] [15]
