Mysty for ASHR

A help-grounded assistant that answers "how do I…" questions with a real help-center link, can open a page for you, and — for an HR admin — can look up your own workspace’s employees, leave, holidays, assets, helpdesk tickets and attendance. It never changes anything.

Beta

Workforce & AI Workers

One register of who does the work — people, AI agents, services, vendors and teams — with time-bound access grants that expire unless renewed, a second person’s approval for high-risk access, access reviews an HR admin opens and closes, and an agent registry with versioned prompts and a kill switch.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to decide if ASHR.work is the right HR platform for your team.

What is ASHR.work?

ASHR.work is a modern, cloud HRMS built for startups and small and medium businesses in India. It unifies people, leave, performance, onboarding, documents and more in one platform.

Who is ASHR.work for?

ASHR.work is designed for startups and small and medium businesses in India — typically teams of 10 to 100 people in technology, SaaS, services and fintech, where HR is run by a founder or a small team. Pricing is in INR, ex-GST.

Is ASHR.work compliant with global data laws?

Yes. ASHR.work is built around modern data-protection frameworks including EU GDPR, UK GDPR, US CCPA and India DPDP. We treat employee data as sensitive by default with row-level security, role-based access and encrypted storage.

Can I import my existing employee data?

Yes — self-serve. Every workspace has a bulk CSV import wizard (Admin → Import data) for employees, leave balances, holidays, assets, salary structures and the org chart, with a dry run before anything is written so you can check what would change before it does. Payroll history, review history and attendance records aren’t importable yet. Adding people one by one — by email invite, or as a record without a login — works at any team size too.

Does ASHR.work offer a free trial?

Yes. You can sign up in minutes and try the platform free for 15 days, no credit card required.

Which modules are available today, and what can be customized?

Available today: Employee Directory, Leave Management, Attendance & Time Tracking, Shift & Roster, Performance Appraisals, 360° Peer Feedback, Goals & OKRs, 1:1 Agenda & Notes, Calibration, Recognition & Praise, Onboarding, Documents & Letter Generation, Policy Acknowledgements (read-and-confirm with the version pinned — an acknowledgement, not a signature), Org Chart, Holidays, Roles & Permissions, Payroll & Compensation (structures, statutory setup, pay runs, payslips, income-tax/TDS with regime declarations, and bank/statutory exports), Contractor Payouts, Expense Management, Benefits Administration (plan catalogue and enrolments — enrolment administration only, not premium calculation or claims), Recruitment/ATS, Offboarding & Exit, Talent Matrix, Career Growth Plans, Announcements & Engagement, Asset Management, Helpdesk & Grievances, Engagement Surveys & eNPS, Reports & Analytics, the native ASHR Slack app, and Signature Check-ins. Training & certification is powered by Miatz, a separate product whose certificates show on ASHR.work profiles. Everything else on the Modules page is marked Coming soon — it is not priced or selectable until it ships, and the chip names the program building it.

How does pricing work?

ASHR.work is priced per active employee per month, with transparent Starter, Growth and Enterprise tiers, billed in INR (prices ex-GST; GST is added on the invoice). There are no setup fees and you can cancel anytime.

How is ASHR.work different from legacy HR software?

ASHR.work is modern-first — built on Next.js and Supabase, designed for mobile, accessibility and speed. It feels like a consumer product, not an ERP module, and ships new features every sprint.
