What Alp Consulting does

Alp Consulting Ltd is a Bangalore-headquartered, private HR solutions company founded in 1996 that delivers end-to-end workforce services to enterprises, multinationals, Fortune 500 companies, startups and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) across India, Sri Lanka, the Middle East and Japan. Its service portfolio spans recruitment (executive search, contingent search, enterprise RPO, contract, remote, virtual and IT staff augmentation, plus specialised Japanese bilingual recruitment), payroll outsourcing, statutory and labour-law compliance, GCC Build-Operate-Transfer solutions, training and apprenticeship programs, and back-office outsourcing. Underlying the services is a Zoho-based HR technology stack (Zoho CRM, Payroll, People, Recruit ATS, Projects, Expense, Creator, Help Desk) integrated with a proprietary Hire-to-Retire HRMS platform serving 1M+ ESS portal users, with AI-powered candidate assessment and screening embedded in recruitment workflows.

The company generates revenue primarily through placement fees on permanent and executive search mandates, contract mark-ups on staffing and IT staff augmentation, per-employee-per-month (PEPM) and managed-services fees on payroll outsourcing, retainer-based compliance contracts, project and managed-services fees on GCC/BOT engagements, and professional-services fees on Zoho consulting and training programs. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with a website enquiry form and dedicated sales contacts feeding enterprise field sales; no reseller, marketplace or channel-partner distribution is evident. Alp holds a Government of India Overseas Recruitment Agency licence (RA ID: 6444494) enabling cross-border recruitment into the GCC and Japan, and is backed by Japanese conglomerate BREXA Holdings Inc. It operates from eight offices (Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Noida, Goa, and Colombo) with a 750+ headcount of domain-expert HR professionals, serving 500+ enterprise customers with 100K+ cumulative candidates placed and 2M+ compliance records managed annually.
