Squad HR is built by a team that spent years implementing HR software inside real businesses and watching what happens after go-live
We spent eleven years implementing HR software and building core business systems for other companies — that's our firm, Sixty One Steps, working inside businesses across Chennai and beyond since 2015.
Here's what we almost always saw happen: adoption quietly faded. Not on day one, but on day ninety. Leave requests drifted back to WhatsApp. Attendance went back to the spreadsheet. The HRMS became a login nobody used and an invoice nobody questioned. It happens more often than anyone wants to admit, and it is not for the reason you would think.
The features were never the problem. Every HRMS has leave management and attendance tracking. The problem, however, is that most HR software is built to be sold, not to be used.
So, we built Squad HR, the HRMS built around adoption, not features.
Four core design and service principles that set us apart.
We are implementation experts first, software developers second. We build for the actual realities of floor operations.
No complex self-serve wizards or automated bots. Every customer gets a dedicated expert to configure the platform.
Built ground-up for Indian workspaces, compliance rules, shifts, and team hierarchies and not bolted onto a generic global template.
Start simple, adjust configurations as you grow; no complex, expensive code updates required to change policies.
From an implementation partner to building a trusted HRMS for growing teams.
Sixty One Steps begins implementing and consulting on HR software systems for other companies.
Rolls out complex HR workflows across manufacturing, healthcare, fintech, and IT businesses.
Observes the same pattern repeatedly: good software quietly abandoned by month three because the system was built to be sold, not used.
Realizes the core issue was implementation design and employee adoption. Starts building a custom workforce engine designed for the floor.
Squad HR launches publicly, starting with Attendance, Leave, and Directory.
Broken formulas & outdated version copies
Answering leave requests between meetings
HR manager doing the job of three people
Squad HR is for Indian companies where HR still runs on WhatsApp messages, shared spreadsheets, and one person's memory.
Sometimes that person is you, the founder, answering leave requests between meetings. Sometimes it's an HR manager doing the job of three people, with HR software bought once and quietly abandoned by month three.
Either way, you've hit the point where the spreadsheet breaks, or you've bought HR software before and watched it fade.
Named setup consultant working with you directly — no generic wizards or bots.
Leave, attendance, and shift schedules configured to match actual floor operations.
Team onboarding and ongoing guidance until Squad HR is genuinely driving adoption.
Every Squad HR customer works with a named person from our team, someone who has spent years doing HR rollouts, not reading from a script.
They sit with you to set up leave, attendance and shifts the way your business actually runs. No generic templates, no policies that don't align with how the company works. They bring your team on board, and stay involved until Squad HR is genuinely running your HR, not just installed.
That's not an add-on. It's the whole point.
We can promise this because we are not a software company that outsources implementation. We are implementers who built software.
