Arunanand T A · Kochi, India

HR consultant and the creator of HR Bro®

An HR engine, not HR firefighting.

I wrote software for three years, then spent ten building HR: policies, pay structures and performance systems. HR Bro® is where that work goes public.

Software engineer, then HR leader

I trained in Computer Science and still think like an engineer: write the process down, test it with real people, then make it run every month.

After an MTech and three years in software, I moved into HR and have spent ten years since on the parts that decide whether a company feels fair to work in: how people are paid, reviewed, promoted and protected. Startups and SMEs feel those gaps first, so that is where I put most of my time.

HR Bro®, the name and the work

HR Bro® started as WhatsApp communities and videos for HR people looking for their next role.

The consulting grew out of the questions founders kept sending: how do we write a leave policy, set salaries fairly, run our first reviews. Both run under AllyReach India Pvt Ltd, which owns the HR Bro® name. Arun is the face of HR Bro®; a team at AllyReach does the work alongside him.
