We Are

What We Are does

We Are is a Chennai, India-based, privately-held HR services firm that delivers recruitment and HR outsourcing to multinational companies, fast-growing startups, non-profits and SMEs, alongside a corporate gifting line. Its service portfolio spans permanent hiring, contract staffing, and HR operations support, monetized via sales-led B2B engagements with enterprise and growth-stage buyers.

The firm operates an in-house brand ecosystem layered around the core services business: Atomhire and Rocketship are positioned as talent operating-system products, YourTribe functions as a community layer, and Parisu.store handles corporate gifting. The technology stack is described as not applicable — We Are is positioned as a services firm rather than a software platform — and there are no disclosed proprietary models, data pipelines, or AI capabilities. A reported 90% of internal roles are held by women returning after career breaks, and the company has set a public mission of bringing 10,000 women back into the workforce, which it uses as both an employer-brand lever and a B2B sales differentiator.

Commercially, the company operates on a project- and retainer-based professional services model with no disclosed pricing tiers, ARR, or customer count beyond a generic reference to "thousands of companies." It is founder-led (Deepak) alongside an operating team that includes CEO Sai Prasad, CTO & Co-Founder Shravan, VP Delivery Subha Pradha, Chief of Staff Bennet Enstein, and Head of Design & UX Varun. There is a notable internal inconsistency between the company's claim of "20 years of operation" on its website and registry data indicating a 2020 incorporation, which materially affects any longevity-based moat assessment. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or geographic expansion signals are disclosed in the available data.
