What Inosculation Hub does

Inosculation Hub Pvt. Ltd. is a New Delhi-based B2B social compliance and capacity-building firm founded in 2016, serving manufacturing companies in South-East Asia across textile, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, and IT sectors. Its core services span supply-chain sustainability audits, Human Rights Due Diligence, remediation handholding, gender sensitization and POSH training, supervisory development programmes, and CSR advisory, delivered through direct enterprise engagements from offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The company's most visible offering is Project Salahe, a worker-engagement and capacity-building programme co-developed with apparel brand Super Dry that has scaled to multiple factories engaging approximately 7,000 employees. Named enterprise clients include Super Dry, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Maruti Suzuki.

Inosculation Hub's technology backbone is InHub Buddy, a proprietary web-based digital grievance redressal platform accessible via smartphones, computers, or dedicated kiosks. The platform supports anonymous and non-anonymous grievance submission, local-language input with speech-to-text conversion for low-literacy workers, predefined escalation matrices, media file attachments, and monthly analytics reporting. InHub Buddy is positioned as an affordable, self-service SaaS offering for factories and SMEs, with potential HRMS integration. The company also operates a Kiosk sub-product for larger factory deployments and a mobile-friendly GRM app component.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) project-based and retainer professional consulting engagements in social compliance, audits, and HR/IR remediation; (2) training and development programmes covering behavioural and technical domains (Lean Six Sigma, ISO standards, POSH, supervisory effectiveness) delivered in-person with planned automation for remote access; and (3) subscription/recurring SaaS revenue from InHub Buddy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is relationship-driven, anchored on flagship projects with named brands, complemented by content marketing (labour-law blog, case studies), and a community-led channel via NGO, CSO, and women's ITI partnerships. Co-founders Poonam Batra (Founder, Communication & Business Development) and Jitendra Singh Chauhan (Founder, CEO & Director) lead an 11-50 person organization that reports impacting over one million workers across five countries.

Broad incumbents

• SGS: SGS is the world's largest inspection, verification, testing and certification company with extensive social-compliance audit operations across manufacturing geographies. It competes with Inosculation Hub for the same brand-driven supplier audit and remediation mandates.
• LRQA: LRQA (formerly part of Lloyd's Register) provides supply-chain assurance, social-compliance audits, and ethical-trade services to global brands. It competes with Inosculation Hub in the buyer-funded supplier audit and human-rights due-diligence market.
• Sedex: Sedex operates a global platform for supplier ethical data exchange and social audits, used by thousands of brands to manage supply-chain compliance. It is a broader incumbent in the same social-compliance data and audit ecosystem that Inosculation Hub serves with its InHub Buddy platform.
• Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection and certification company running social-compliance and labour-rights audits for brands and manufacturers. It overlaps with Inosculation Hub's audit and human-rights due-diligence services as a much larger incumbent in the same buyer RFPs.

Direct peers

• ELEVATE: ELEVATE provides supply chain sustainability, social compliance audits, and worker engagement technology to global brands sourcing from manufacturing hubs in Asia. It is a direct peer because it offers the same combination of social-compliance consulting and digital worker-engagement tooling that Inosculation Hub targets.
• BSR: BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) advises global brands on supply-chain sustainability, human rights, and worker welfare, with deep apparel and manufacturing practice. It is comparable to Inosculation Hub as a strategic advisory partner for brands managing supplier compliance in Asia.
• Impactt: Impactt is a UK- and India-based social-compliance consultancy delivering worker-voice programmes, gender equality training, and remediation services to apparel and manufacturing supply chains. It directly mirrors Inosculation Hub's Project Salahe-style worker engagement and HR/IR compliance work in South Asia.

Emerging players

• Ulula: Ulula provides a digital worker-voice and supply-chain transparency platform used by global brands to capture anonymous worker feedback in factories. It overlaps with InHub Buddy's grievance-redressal functionality and competes for the same brand-supplier engagement budget.
• Labor Solutions: Labor Solutions offers worker grievance hotlines, case management, and worker-voice analytics for global supply chains. It is comparable to Inosculation Hub as a digital GRM provider targeting the same factory-worker population in apparel and consumer-goods manufacturing.
• Quizrr: Quizrr delivers digital worker training on labour rights, health and safety, and code-of-conduct topics to factory workers in global supply chains. It overlaps with Inosculation Hub's POSH, supervisory, and worker-committee awareness training programmes as a digital-first alternative.
