Twenty years of compliance-first HR outsourcing.
TMS was founded in 2006 with a contrarian belief: most HR firms file paperwork and hope. We file paperwork, audit it ourselves, and stake our zero-penalty record on it. Two decades later, 450+ clients trust us with 8,500+ employees, across 100+ Indian cities.
Make Indian HR boring.
Predictable payroll, clean filings, zero surprises.
Indian labour law is one of the most complex in the world: PF, ESIC, PT (state-wise), LWF, gratuity, bonus, and the four Labour Codes. For most employers, it's a constant low-level anxiety.
Our job is to take that anxiety away. We do that with three things: senior HR leaders on every account, zero sub-contracting, and a compliance discipline that has never let a penalty through in 20 years.
That's it. No theatre, no slogans, no agency margins. Just compliance executed quietly, month after month, while you focus on what you actually do.
The four pillars we run on.
Professional
Senior HR leader on every account. No junior account-manager handoffs. No agency-margin layers between you and the work.
HR Expertise
Two decades of Indian labour-law domain. Multi-sector, multi-state, multi-jurisdiction. We've seen the edge cases.
Quality
Customized HR policies, letters, and onboarding, not generic templates. Audit-ready records, every month, every state.
Compliance
PF, ESIC, PT, LWF, gratuity, bonus, TDS: filed correctly, on time, every time. Zero penalties in twenty years.
Three people. 35+ combined years at TMS.

Our story — from boutique Mumbai firm to pan-India HR partner
Team Management Services (TMS) was founded in 2006 as a boutique staffing firm in Mumbai. Twenty-plus years later, we have grown into one of India’s most experienced HR outsourcing partners, supporting 450+ active clients and 8,500+ employees on payroll across all states of India and 100+ cities.
What began with a few committed founders has become a multi-disciplinary HR services firm running Contract Staffing, Employer of Record (EOR), Payroll Outsourcing, Statutory Compliance, Talent Acquisition, GCC Setup, and more. Over the course of two decades, we have navigated every major regulatory change in Indian HR — from the introduction of EPF/ESI online filings to the four new Labour Codes — and built playbooks that protect our clients from compliance risk.
What we do — five core HR services
TMS delivers an integrated HR portfolio so you don’t have to coordinate five different vendors:
- Contract Staffing — third-party payroll and workforce management for Indian companies that want to move existing or new workforce to a compliant intermediary. Full statutory compliance, single-point-of-contact onboarding.
- Employer of Record (EOR) — for foreign and out-of-state companies hiring in India without their own legal entity. TMS becomes the legal employer; you get operational control. Setup in 48 hours.
- Payroll Outsourcing — end-to-end payroll processing, statutory filings, tax computation, F&F settlement, and reporting. Multi-state compliance management.
- Statutory Compliance — EPF, ESIC, professional tax, TDS, gratuity, labour welfare fund, Shops & Establishments, contract labour (CLRA), POSH, and the new Labour Codes. We have processed zero compliance penalties for clients to date.
- Talent Acquisition — permanent recruitment, RPO, executive search across all skill levels and industries.
Beyond these, TMS also handles GCC setup, POSH compliance advisory, HR consulting, and NAPS/NATS apprenticeship programs.
