“Long implementation times and extended training periods are a huge pain point in getting a new platform for the organisation. We obsess to build an extremely flexible yet powerful system to significantly cut down time, effort and cost of implementation. Our interfaces are so intuitive that even a first time user would be able to effortlessly navigate through the whole system with zero or minimal training even to handle complex processes” - Chaitanya Peddi, co-founder
Mohandas Pai, investing via 3one4 Capital, says “Darwinbox has assimilated the many years of the founding team's experience in the space to solve for a powerful value proposition. The solution not only caters to full-stack workflows in the domain, it also helps companies engage their employees over multiple channels. The platform, therefore, targets the large asymmetries on both sides and contributes towards the utilization of the accumulated human capital much more efficiently. The long term effects are clear - better hiring decisions, clearer communication of incentives, stronger relationships with workforces that are increasingly more distributed, and deeper integrations with a whole universe of tools that are improving the overall ecosystem. We are excited to work with the Darwinbox team, and are looking forward to joining them on their journey.”
