Leave Management System – Real Cost

We started with Razorpay’s bundled leave system simply because it was there. But very quickly, cracks began to show:

• Leave balances were ignored. Anyone could apply for more leave than they were entitled to.
• Hierarchies were static. Reporting changes? Reorgs? Forget it.
• No audit trail. Leaves approved on a call? No trace. No accountability.
• Manual overhead. HR had to manually fix leave balances almost every week.
• No visibility. Managers had no clue who else in the team was already on leave.
• Support? What support? We were stuck — with zero help.

We’re a small, fast-moving team. We need systems that just work and get out of the way.

That’s when we realized: we were spending more time managing the tool than managing our people.

So we stopped waiting and decided to build what we wished existed.
