Karma Management Consultants: Simplifying HR and Employment Law Compliance with Tech-Enabled Solutions



Indian labour law is dynamic and has come of age ‒ attempting to employ e-governance, ease in legislation and streamlining processes and systems. With over 40 central laws and 150 state laws it has been no mean task, and the system continues to grapple with discrepancies in intent and ground reality. For companies, what this has translated into is an ambiguous state, where adapting to constantly upgraded systems proves a challenge, where information and insight is lacking, and where an understanding of implications and direction becomes imperative.

The ideology of the government in implementing a restructured system is aimed at amplifying the opportunities available to individuals and companies alike, and allowing greater ease in functioning. It also aims as weeding out redundancies and formulating a comprehensive system of filing, documenting and recording information. The initiative has aimed to create a wider playing field, and in motivating young talent to become a part of the mainstream. Implementation, however, has n’t been easy at either end. Glitches in the system, technical issues and other routine road blocks continue to hamper efficiency; while companies are still coming to terms with revised formats and other details. The need for companies to reach out to experienced professionals has never been greater. Companies are no longer looking for mere execution, but are looking to partner with those who can go beyond, and step into advisory roles. Karma Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd. has pioneered in process automation and technology, and has made labour law compliance efficient and smooth.
