How it began
My wife, Chandrika Bondalapati, worked as a recruiter and later a manager before managing Hawiot’s operations and HR. She saw gaps in the HRMS and ATS tools available to us. We had only 12 employees, yet were paying ₹4,900 a month for core HR, with additional capabilities costing more. We identified the problem together and wanted to build a more complete, affordable alternative.
— Veera SanakaThe problem
Small teams need more than core HR, but software priced around large minimum seat counts can make even the basics expensive. In the tools we evaluated, project management and location tracking added further costs. Disconnected HR and recruitment workflows created gaps in the work itself.

Why I’m building it
A small company should be able to use a complete people platform while it is still small. NineRole’s approach is to make the full feature set accessible from the beginning, with a simple per-employee price as a team grows.
