Exclusive Interview with Himanshu Aggarwal, Co-Founder, and CTO, Qandle
For businesses having a distributed work environment nothing is dearer than flexibility and accessibility. Add data analytics dimension to the picture it becomes highly necessary for companies to adopt cloud-based HR solutions. However, cloud-based solutions always come with challenges that far outweigh the opportunities they come with. Qandle is a cloud-based technology platform that provides innovative human resource management solutions. Analytics Insight has engaged in an exclusive interview with Himanshu Aggarwal, Co-Founder, and CTO, of Qandle.
1. Kindly brief us about the company, its specialization, and the services that your company offers.
Qandle is an All-In-One HR Solution. It is a young firm formed in 2016 and is focused on re-engineering HR Technology from the perspective of employees.
Qandle is a comprehensive solution built with the employees in mind and covers the entire gamut of HR activities – from hire to retirement. With the mission to build connected, empowered, and engaged workplaces, Qandle has leveraged technology to develop a modular and extremely flexible solution for organizations looking to deliver the next-generation experience to their teams. The vast array of offerings includes solutions for recruitment, new hire onboarding, payroll, and related compliances, attendance and time off, employee engagement, performance, OKRs, etc.
2. Brief us about the proactive Founder/CEO of the company and his/her contributions to the company and the industry.
We are two co-founders, and both of us are quite proactive. Chayan looks after the sales and marketing while I look after the technology. Both of us look after the product as we believe that is the key, and the product is what our customers come, and stay for. Both of us lead with a solutions mindset and that drives everything we do, including but not limited to the kind of people we hire, the solutions we provide, and the way we approach concerns and issues.
3. What is your biggest USP that differentiates the company from competitors?
We are a solutions company and not a tech company. Our philosophy is to solve the customers’ issues and problems. That mindset, I think, is our biggest differentiator. As Simon Sinek says, we always start with why. As a result, we are always looking to make every step simpler and easier. This results in an extremely user-friendly experience. The solution covers all the requirements end-to-end and is simple to use.
4. How do you plan to revolutionize the Indian market and what are your plans to tap the market?
We founded Qandle to replace the clunky and complicated solutions and the point solutions in the market for HR. The idea was to offer something which serves the entire gamut of the HR lifecycle of employees and is configurable and easy to use. Therefore, based on a strong technology backbone, we created Qandle. We don’t just offer a technology platform but a complete solution that provides a seamless experience and presents an intuitive interface that would not need any special training to be used. In addition to this, we cover every possible module that a company might require when it comes to its HR functions. Qandle offers over 22 modules across 10 broad categories covering all the possible HR and employee tasks. Thus, eliminating the challenge of maintaining multiple SAAS platforms to manage the organization’s most valuable asset – people.
5. What does your technology and business roadmap look like for the rest of the year?
We are always working towards making our solution more user-friendly and configurable. We are hoping to double the number of customers we have. On the product end, we seek to continue to support our clients in making their lives easier concerning managing their people resources. Our product roadmap is driven by our clients needs. We work very closely with our clients to decide our product roadmap and it is completely visible to them.
6. The industry is seeing a rising importance of business and technology enablers like virtualization, convergence, and cloud. How do you see these emerging technologies impact your business sector?
All technology companies need to continuously innovate based on client needs and emerging technologies to stay relevant. We are no exception to this and are influenced by these changes. Our solution is completely cloud-based and we already use virtualization to provide a fast solution with extremely low latency. We are continuously upgrading our systems as well, in line with the latest technologies, to provide a cutting-edge solution to our customers.
7. AI is projected to be the next market. How is AI contributing to the making of your products and services?
AI is very much a part of our product, and we continue to invest in it, to enable our clients to make their work lives easier. We use AI and Natural Language processing in several modules to make our solution smart and save significant time for our client’s employees and consequently, their HR teams. Some examples are AI chatbot, Resume Parser, smart shift allocation, etc. among others.
8. Which industry verticals are you currently focusing on? And what is your go-to-market strategy for the same?
Companies from all sectors and industries need HR solutions to manage their people. Since our solution is extremely configurable and intuitive for the white, grey, and blue-collar workforce, we are truly industry and size agnostic. It is a truly horizontal solution. Our GTM strategy is to try and get into the consideration set when someone is looking for an HR solution. Once there, we know our product and solutions mindset will be able to address their needs better than others in the market.
