Aekatra is people software for Indian services firms that bill by the hour: agencies, IT consultancies, professional services. Statutory payroll (EPF, ESIC, PT, TDS, gratuity) and project delivery sit on the same employee record. Every billable hour carries that person's loaded cost, so project and portfolio margin is a query instead of a monthly spreadsheet reconciliation. Western PSA tools skip Indian payroll. Indian HR platforms skip project margin. Aekatra was built for both.
