We have always had a drive for innovation at Darwinbox, which had led us to offer several futuristic solutions like facial scan based attendance, digital rewards, continuous feedback, mobile-based check-ins, much before the current crisis. Many of the customer organizations like Arvind, Adani Wilmar, Kotak Life Insurance, L&T Metro, HT Media, Myntra, Swiggy have been early adopters of these features. However, with the current crisis they were no longer good-to-have tech but must-haves that directly impacted business continuity and productivity.- Chaitanya Peddi, Co-founder, Darwinbox

In interaction with many organizations recently, we understood that several companies were not equipped with return-to-work or remote-work capabilities in their existing HRMS and were facing several practical limitations in switching to a full-fledged HRMS in such short notice. Given this reality, we set out to provide a specially curated solution like Evolve to help organizations navigate this crisis and set themselves up digitally for success quickly.- Jayant Paleti, Co-founder, Darwinbox

All 'Evolve' features are already available to Darwinbox's HRMS customer base of 350+ Asian enterprises. Over 900,000+ employees have adapted to the 'new normal' at work with remote friendly and engaging technology that promotes safety in the new workplace.
