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.
Hi Product Hunt,
I'm Jagdish Chaudhari, from Valsad, Gujarat. We've been building Aekatra since 2022, originally for ourselves.
We run a services firm. Payroll lived in one system, timesheets in another, and every month somebody exported both into a spreadsheet to work out whether a project had actually made money. By the time that number arrived, it was three weeks stale, and the project was already over.
Aekatra puts statutory Indian payroll and project delivery on one employee record. Billed hours carry that person's loaded cost, so margin per project is a query, not a reconciliation.
For the agency and consultancy folks here: how are you working out project margin today, and how far behind is that number by the time you see it?
