Kharalis

What Kharalis does

Kharalis Ltd is a UK-based boutique consultancy (registered in England and Wales, Company No. 09619823) that advises organizations on talent management strategy and helps them select, implement, integrate and operate third-party learning and talent management platforms such as Cornerstone OnDemand. The company does not build or sell proprietary software; instead, it delivers professional services across four pillars: Consulting and Advisory Services (strategy design and platform selection), Implementation and Rollout Services (configuration, programme/project management, change and risk management), Integration Services (technical architecture across the HR technology stack), and Support and Managed Services (ongoing optimization, adoption analysis and day-to-day management).

The firm targets enterprise customers primarily, with named references spanning financial services (Barclays, Raiffeisen Bank, ICA Banken, Generali, BP), automotive and manufacturing (Maserati, Alpinestars, Danieli, Denso, BLM Group), IT and consulting (Sopra Steria, Intellera Consulting, Italia Online, Fastweb), and other sectors (Virgin Active, Kantar, Novo Holdings, SGB Humangest, ICA). Marquee project evidence includes a Performance Management implementation for Barclays covering 70,000 staff across six business units and a joint 'Climate Change Awareness Journey' with Generali that was shortlisted for the Learning Technologies Awards 2024.

Kharalis monetizes through bespoke, project-based professional services engagements rather than disclosed subscription pricing, and acquires customers through direct enterprise sales supported by a HubSpot meeting booking link, thought-leadership content (e.g., '2025 HR Trends', 'Building Successful Teams'), and newsletter capture. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees, is registered for UK VAT (GB 218 3259 12), and publishes no revenue, funding, or ownership information.
