About Team Management Services (TMS): one firm behind every location
Team Management Services — TMS — is a Mumbai-headquartered HR services partnership firm that has operated across India since 2006. The firm runs six core practice lines from its Ghatkopar East head office: Employer of Record (EOR) for foreign companies hiring in India, contract staffing, payroll outsourcing, statutory compliance, talent acquisition and government scheme administration. Because every engagement is coordinated from one head office rather than franchised out to regional partners, clients get identical processes, documentation standards and escalation paths whether their people sit in Mumbai, Coimbatore or Guwahati.
The practical benefit of this structure shows up at audit time. Labour inspections, provident fund enquiries and professional tax assessments are handled by the same central compliance team that prepared the original filings — there is no hunting for records across regional vendors. If you are comparing pan-India providers, ask each one who actually signs off filings in each state; with TMS the answer is always the same senior reviewer chain, supported by our statutory compliance practice.
Why multi-state operations need more than a branch network
India is one labour market on a map but dozens of regulatory jurisdictions in practice. Since the four Labour Codes came into force on 21 November 2025, the central framework is uniform — but implementation still runs through state rules, state schedules and state portals. A company with employees in four states is effectively running four parallel compliance calendars. What actually varies by state is wider than most employers expect:
| Compliance item | Varies by state? | What changes |
|---|
| Professional Tax | Yes | Applicability, slabs, return frequency and forms differ; several states levy no PT at all. Check exposure with the professional tax calculator. |
| Minimum wages | Yes | Rates are notified state-wise by skill category and zone, and revised via dearness allowance updates. See current rates on our minimum wage tracker. |
| Shops & Establishments | Yes | Registration, working hours, leave and register formats follow each state's Act and rules. |
| Labour Welfare Fund | Yes | Only some states levy LWF; contribution cycles range from monthly to annual. |
| PF and ESI | No (central) | Uniform nationally, but regional EPFO/ESIC offices handle inspections locally. |
| Labour Code state rules | Yes | States notify their own rules under the four Codes; timelines and registers differ. |
All state-wise positions used in TMS engagements are verified by the TMS compliance team and date-stamped, so clients are never working off stale rate cards.
How to reach the TMS head office in Ghatkopar
The TMS head office is at 1003-04, G-Square Business Park, Jawahar Road, Ghatkopar East, Mumbai 400 077 — two minutes' walk from Ghatkopar railway station (Central Line) and the Ghatkopar Metro terminus on Line 1, which connects directly to Andheri and the Western Express Highway. Visitors arriving from the airport should allow 30–45 minutes by road via the Eastern Express Highway. Meetings are by appointment; most first conversations happen over a scheduled call, with in-person reviews reserved for contract signing and quarterly business reviews. Clients with distributed teams do not need to travel — regional delivery is run on the ground while commercial discussions stay with your single point of contact, and monthly deliverables such as payroll processing are fully remote.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the TMS office located?
The TMS head office is in G-Square Business Park, Jawahar Road, Ghatkopar East, Mumbai 400 077, near Ghatkopar station and metro. All commercial, legal and compliance functions are centralised here, and client visits are welcome by appointment on +91-22-4896-7640.
What is Team Management Services (TMS)?
Team Management Services is an Indian HR services firm founded in 2006, specialising in EOR, contract staffing, payroll outsourcing, statutory compliance, talent acquisition and government scheme management. It is a partnership firm headquartered in Mumbai serving clients across all Indian states and union territories.
Does TMS have branch offices outside Mumbai?
TMS delivers through regional hub leads and on-ground teams rather than a chain of branded branch offices. This keeps a single accountable compliance chain in Mumbai while field execution — onboarding, document collection, inspection attendance — happens locally in each state.
How does TMS handle compliance in states where it has no office?
State filings run through the same central compliance engine regardless of geography, because most statutory processes — PF, ESI, PT, returns under the Labour Codes — are executed on government portals. Where physical presence is required, such as an inspection or assessment hearing, regional representatives attend with records prepared centrally.
Can one contract cover employees in multiple states?
Yes. TMS engagements use one master service agreement, one invoice and one SPOC covering every state in scope. State-specific registrations and returns are handled underneath that single commercial umbrella, so adding a new state is an operational step, not a new negotiation.
