Question 1

What's the difference between an HRMS and an HRIS?

Accepted Answer

An HRIS is the database of record for people data. An HRMS adds workflow — payroll, leave, lifecycle, case management — on top. Adviserve People is an HRMS; it includes the HRIS layer.

Question 2

Is DPDP Act 2023 applicable to small businesses in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with almost no carve-outs. If you process personal data of Indian residents — employees, customers, website visitors — you're in scope. Penalties run up to ₹250 crore per instance.

Question 3

How long does a DPDP compliance project take?

Accepted Answer

A standard engagement runs 10–14 weeks: 3 weeks of data mapping, 4 weeks of policy + flow design, 3 weeks of rollout + training, 2 weeks of audit readiness. We stage it so you have working controls in week 5.

Question 4

What's included in corporate training engagements?

Accepted Answer

Assessment, curriculum design, facilitators, post-training reinforcement, and a written outcomes brief. We don't sell one-off keynotes — every engagement has a 12-week measurement window.

Question 5

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?

Accepted Answer

Both. Our smallest active client is a 14-person seed-stage fintech; our largest is a listed manufacturer. The engagement shape changes; the operator-grade bar doesn't.

Question 6

How fast can you ramp up recruitment?

Accepted Answer

48 hours to embedded team, 7 days to first calibrated shortlist, typical time-to-offer of 22 days on mid-senior roles. We publish these numbers per engagement and track them weekly.
