HR Consulting & Advisory.
HR policies, labour-law advisory, restructuring, and HR transformation projects.
Senior HR judgement when you need it.
When labour laws shift, you restructure, you face a complex termination, or you're integrating an acquisition — you need someone who's seen it before. Our HR consulting practice is advisory only, billed by the hour or project, run by senior leaders with 13+ years at TMS.

Industries we serve
When Do Growing Businesses Need HR Consulting?
Most startups and SMEs reach a tipping point where internal HR knowledge — or the absence of it — starts affecting growth. Labour law violations, poorly drafted employment contracts, non-compliant leave policies, missing statutory registrations, or an unclear appraisal process: these are signs that your business needs structured HR advisory.
TMS HR Consulting and Advisory Services in India help growing businesses — startups, SMEs, and mid-market companies — build compliant, scalable HR frameworks without the cost of a full-time HR leadership team. From one-time HR audits to ongoing advisory retainers, TMS provides practical HR expertise aligned with Indian labour law and best practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hourly or project basis?
Both. Hourly retainer (10-40 hours/month) works for ongoing advisory; project fee for defined scope (audit, policy design, restructuring).
Can we use TMS for advice but keep our HR in-house?
Yes — that's most of our consulting clients. We're advisory; your team executes.
Who does the work?
Our senior HR leaders — Makarand or Vishakha — directly. Junior associates support where appropriate but never run the engagement.
