Mumbai, (Maharashtra) [India], September 28, 2026: Pocket HRMS, a leading AI-powered HRMS and payroll software in India, has been recognised as an ‘Aspirant’ in Everest Group’s Human Capital Management (HCM) Platforms Mid-market PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026, available at https://www.everestgrp.com/report/egr-2026-24-r-8424/
Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® is a research framework that rates HCM providers on two things: market impact, which measures the impact a provider creates in the market, and vision and capability, which measures its ability to deliver products successfully. The 2026 mid-market assessment covers 23 HCM platform providers from around the world, with only a handful of Indian solutions.
For Pocket HRMS, this puts a platform designed around Indian SMEs’ workforce and compliance needs on the same global benchmark as some of the largest names in HCM.
“Being assessed by Everest Group next to global HCM leaders is an important milestone for us,” said Jitendra Somani, co-founder of Pocket HRMS. He added, “Indian businesses deal with payroll and compliance rules that change often and differ from state to state. We built Pocket HRMS to handle that out of the box, so HR teams spend less time on manual work and more time on their people. This assessment gives us an independent benchmark and a clear view of where we need to grow next.”
Built for India’s mid-market

They need robust payroll software and compliance tools without the cost and long rollouts of large enterprise suites. Pocket HRMS was developed to cater to these organisations.

Looking Ahead
“Our priorities for the coming year are clear: we will deepen our AI capabilities, keep pace with India’s new labour codes, and grow our footprint with mid-sized businesses. We aim to move up the Matrix in future assessments.”, added Mr Somani.
