A company hits 60, 70 people, hiring is going great — and quietly, everything about how we manage those people starts to crack.
Appraisals become a formality nobody trusts. New joiners spend their first week guessing who does what. Policies live in someone's inbox. The founders are frustrated, HR is firefighting, and everyone assumes it's just "growing pains."
It isn't. It's a design gap. The systems that ran a 20-person team were never meant to carry 100.
I started Xormed in 2024 to close that gap on purpose — to build the people operations that let growing Indian companies scale without the chaos. Senior, hands-on, no jargon.
If your headcount has outrun your HR, this is going to be useful to you. Glad you're here.
— Neha Kulkarni, Founder & CEO
Founders don't want an OKR model. They want to stop being the escalation point for every people question.
Enough structure to be defensible, light enough for a growing team to run without us.
We stay until it's running, then leave systems that survive without a consultant on retainer.
If we're not the right help, we'll say so on the first call.
Xormed is a boutique HR & people-operations consultancy based in Baner, Pune. We work with founders and lean HR teams at growing Indian startups and SMEs — usually between 30 and 200 people — designing the org, performance, onboarding, HRMS and policy systems that a fast-scaling team needs but rarely has time to build.
We're deliberately small and senior. That's the point.
Start with a free 45-minute audit — the same conversation that starts most of our engagements.
