The two companies will provide a holistic offering to enterprises in the HR technology space.

Bhavin Turakhia-promoted Zeta has taken a minority stake in PeopleStrong for an undisclosed amount.

Bhavin’s investment is part of a partnership between PeopleStrong and Zeta, to provide a holistic offering to enterprises in the HR technology space. With this investment, Bhavin will hold a small equity stake and advise PeopleStrong in its journey to create a global HR tech company from India.

The two companies now plan to launch an app together, which will be launched later this week at PeopleStrong’s event, Altify HR. The app, PeopleStrong Alt, will combine the power of software as a service (SaaS) and mobile communication to manage the workforce on the go.

PeopleStrong’s alliance with Zeta empowers users by further providing a streamlined and uncomplicated way to offer, manage and claim tax-saving employee benefits with the Zeta Optima™ suite.
