Streamlining Rural Workforce
Management for an Agritech Company
An Indian agritech company focused on developing and manufacturing advanced biological agri-inputs partnered with MYND to bring structure, compliance, and scale to its dispersed rural workforce.
Agritech & the Rural Workforce Reality
India's agritech sector is rewriting how agricultural inputs reach farmers — but the last mile is always people. Companies building this ground-level presence face some of the most complex HR and payroll challenges in the country, from multi-state compliance to near-zero digital infrastructure in the field.
Dispersed Operations
Field teams operating across hundreds of rural districts make centralised workforce management nearly impossible without the right technology and processes in place.
Multi-State Compliance
Labour laws, PF, ESI, and state-specific professional tax regulations differ significantly across India, creating compounding compliance risk for companies with pan-India rural teams.
High Attrition Pressure
Rural field roles carry inherently higher attrition. Delayed salaries, lack of a dedicated query channel, and opaque processes are among the leading drivers of early exit.
Scale-Up Demands
As agritech companies expand from regional pilots to national coverage, the absence of scalable onboarding and payroll infrastructure becomes a direct bottleneck to growth.
Limited Lifecycle Visibility
Without integrated HRMS tools, tracking employee journeys — from joining to exit — across remote geographies creates data gaps that affect planning and decision-making.
Biological Agri-Inputs Sector
Companies in this segment rely on agronomists, field officers, and channel managers who serve farmers directly. Continuity of this workforce directly impacts farmer outcomes and brand trust.
The Need
A fast-growing agritech company with a pan-India rural presence was struggling to manage its workforce efficiently across dispersed field locations.
Dispersed Rural Operations
Widespread rural workforce management challenges causing operational inefficiencies across geographically dispersed locations — with no unified system to manage teams in the field.
High Field Team Attrition
High attrition rates among field teams were impacting service continuity and farmer relationships, undermining the company's core mission at the last mile.
National Expansion Bottleneck
National expansion plans were slowed by the inability to efficiently onboard and manage workforce at scale — a structural gap that no manual process could bridge.
No Employee Lifecycle Visibility
Limited visibility into employee lifecycle management across remote rural areas left leadership without the data needed to make informed workforce decisions.
Multi-State Compliance Tracking
Compliance tracking difficulties with employees spread across multiple states created regulatory exposure and administrative overload for the HR team.
A Complete Workforce Infrastructure for the Field
MYND deployed an end-to-end HR and payroll solution built around the realities of rural workforce management — integrating technology, compliance, and operational support into a single connected framework.
HRMS Tech Platform — End-to-End Lifecycle

Payroll with State-Specific Compliance
Established comprehensive payroll processing with state-specific compliance management across all rural locations, ensuring accurate and timely disbursements while meeting each state's statutory requirements.
Dedicated Employee Helpdesk
Created a dedicated employee helpdesk management function for timely query resolution — a critical intervention for field teams who previously had no direct channel for HR support despite geographic spread.
Integrated Operations Framework
Deployed an integrated operations framework connecting recruitment, onboarding, payroll compliance, and exit management into a single seamless workflow, eliminating silos and reducing process gaps.

Built an MIS reporting structure providing real-time visibility into workforce metrics and compliance status across all locations, enabling leadership to track workforce health at a glance.
