Arborworld builds focused software for how India hires, works, and stays compliant: Arborhire for candidates, Trove for the full HR suite, and Sammati for consent & privacy, backed by an in-house engineering, compliance, legal, and audit practice. Three products live today, with employee health and insurance on the roadmap. Multiple buyers inside every company, and a compliance moat most SaaS can't touch.
Most B2B SaaS picks one product and rides it. We picked a position, the operational and compliance backbone every company needs, and built a portfolio around it. Hiring gets us in the door; HR keeps us there; privacy and compliance make us impossible to rip out. Products pull in services, services deepen the products.
Hiring, HR, and privacy are bought by the same leadership team but through different urgencies. We enter through whichever is on fire, a role to fill, an audit to pass, an HR system to replace, then expand across the rest.
Sammati plus our legal and audit practice make us a trust vendor, not a tool. Consent ledgers, DPDP assessments, and SOC-grade posture are sticky by nature, you don't switch the system your regulators already trust.
Every implementation, migration, and audit engagement seeds product adoption, and every product deployment creates services pull. One motion funds the next wedge: health and insurance for the same employee base.
Timing is half the bet. Each of these would matter alone. Together they explain why building this stack in 2026 is materially different from trying it three years ago.
The DPDP Act moves consent, data-principal rights, and breach accountability from optional to mandatory. Every company handling personal data now needs the exact posture Sammati and our audit practice provide, and most have nothing.
The 50–500 person company now has HR leads, structured pipelines, and budget for tooling. Enterprise suites are too heavy; consumer tools are too thin. The opinionated middle is wide open across hiring, HR, and compliance.
What took a 30-person team now takes 3. AI-assisted build cycles let a focused founding team credibly ship and maintain several products in the time a single product used to demand.
Each market is large on its own. The advantage is reaching all three through the same customer relationship, and privacy widens the funnel far beyond HR buyers.
Indian HR-tech is growing double digits as SMEs formalise how they hire and manage people. Trove and Arborhire cover the lifecycle from first application to first payslip, a stack incumbents fragment across five vendors.
Sammati is horizontal: every business processing personal data, fintech, health, SaaS, retail, not just HR, needs consent management and DPDP readiness. This is the market that takes us beyond the HR buyer.
Health checks, group insurance, and life benefits stay fragmented across brokers and offline workflows. Once we hold the employee record, these become natural expansions, the roadmap into health and insurance.
Three products in production and a services practice generating revenue today, not slideware.

Consent ledger, DPDP assessment, and data-principal rights in one tamper-proof system. A trust platform for any business handling personal data.

The candidate-facing marketplace. Serious job seekers register, get matched into live pipelines, and interview directly, the demand side of the hiring loop.

The full HR suite covering Track, Loop, People, Grow, and Pay, sharing one login and one record. Interview scheduling (Arborloop) is the flagship, already in production.
Engineering, compliance & privacy audits, legal counsel, and implementation, the in-house practice that gets customers live and generates revenue from day one.
Six things that are true about Arborworld, and that most of our category can't claim.
Three live products and a services arm, built to stay inside the company for a decade, not to sell one seat.
DPDP, INR billing, and Indian hiring norms are the foundation, not a localisation layer bolted onto a US product.
Sammati, audit, and legal make us the system regulators and boards rely on, the stickiest position in software.
Two revenue lines that feed each other: implementations seed adoption, adoption pulls services. Higher margin, lower CAC.
Three products shipped with a small founding team. Every rupee goes to things that produce paying customers.
No freemium-to-virality bets. Customers pay from day one and churn is low, we sit in their systems of record.
Trove extends into the rest of the employee's life; Sammati extends across every major privacy regime. Both compound the relationships we already own.

Once we hold the employee record, benefits are the natural expansion, the same buyer, a bigger wallet.

DPDP is live today. Each new regime and certification opens Sammati to regulated buyers in new geographies.
We are happy to share round size and structure on a call. Here is the allocation framework, directional, not final, and weighted toward things that produce paying customers.
Hire 6–8 senior engineers across the live products. Accelerate the Track / Grow / Life / Health / Insurance roadmap from vision to in-build.
Build the founder-led sales motion into a repeatable team. Partnerships with ATS vendors, payroll platforms, and CA networks for distribution.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the DPDPA-grade audit posture customers are starting to ask for. Reliability investments to support enterprise contracts.
Prudent buffer for hiring slippage, infrastructure spikes, and opportunistic moves. We do not plan to need it.
Arborworld is built by two founders, Vinod Keshav and Vishwanath CK. Together we bring over 45 years across Travel, E-commerce, Fintech, Gaming, and Mobile. We don't build software because we read a report on it, we build it because we've shipped products at scale and lived these problems firsthand.
Detailed team profiles, prior experience, and references shared on request.
Short answers below. We expect each to come up in a real conversation, happy to go deeper on any.
Because the position is bigger than any one product. A company needs to hire, run HR, and stay compliant, and increasingly to prove that compliance. Building across these for the same customer compounds distribution and lifetime value. We go deep within each product; the portfolio is at the company level.
Global privacy tooling is crowded; India-native DPDP tooling paired with a legal and audit practice is not. Sammati sells alongside services most SaaS can't offer, to a market that was effectively created overnight by the DPDP Act. That combination is the moat.
Sequencing and shared infrastructure. Sammati, Trove, and Arborhire share a platform and buying surface. Health and insurance only get dedicated headcount once the first wave is profitable enough to fund their own teams.
Two layers. Embedding, we sit in systems of record and integrate with ATS, calendar, payroll, and SSO, so we're costly to remove. Trust, consent ledgers and audit posture are things customers don't switch lightly once regulators rely on them.
India has a few hundred thousand companies in the 50–500 band that fit the HR stack, and the privacy market is every business handling personal data, far larger. At the mid-five-figure ARR per logo we've validated, plus services revenue, the math gets interesting fast. Happy to walk through bottom-up modelling on a call.
Open to discussing a structured round. We're not optimising for the largest cheque, we're optimising for partners useful for the next decade. Reach out and we'll share specifics.
We're happy to share the deck, traction figures, and our thinking on the next 18 months in a direct conversation. Reach out and we'll set up a call.
