What Humanova does

Humanova is an India-based B2B SaaS platform that delivers an integrated employee wellbeing and workforce intelligence solution to enterprise and mid-market organizations. Operated by Misafir Support LLP and headquartered in New Delhi, the company targets HR leaders, CHROs, founders and people managers through a consultative, demo-driven sales motion with named customer logos including Microsoft, Vivo and Equipments Dekho.

The platform combines daily employee check-ins (Nova Selfie), guided reflection prompts (Nova Reflections), confidential coaching, pulse surveys, leave/attendance/shift intelligence, learning support and AI-based recommendations into a single modular system. A proprietary NOVA Score Framework aggregates Discipline, Learning, Wellbeing and Engagement into a composite workforce health metric. Underlying AI capabilities span NLP on free-text reflections, predictive analytics on attendance and engagement patterns, anomaly detection for absence and burnout signals, shift optimization, and personalized recommendation generation delivered to managers and HR roles via role-based dashboards.

Humanova sells custom-priced annual subscriptions sized to team size (50 to 50,000+ employees), modules selected, integrations (SSO, HRIS, custom branding) and support level. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales, free demos with a 24-hour SLA, guided no-commitment pilots feeding land-and-expand rollouts, and dedicated success managers for enterprise customers, with discounts for non-profits and the public sector. The company is private, founder-led by Vasu Shobhit, reports no external funding rounds, and has received a formal commendation from former Indian President Shri Ram Nath Kovind.

Revenue model

1. Subscription-based SaaS Platform: Humanova operates as a SaaS platform on an annual or multi-year subscription basis. Pricing is fully customized based on four dimensions: team size (50 to 50,000+ employees), selected programs and modules (wellbeing, coaching, analytics, surveys), integration and setup requirements (SSO, HRIS, custom branding), and support level (self-serve to dedicated success manager with SLA). Organizations select from modular building blocks — Wellbeing & Support, Coaching Programs, HR Analytics, Surveys & Pulse Checks, Enterprise Security, Dedicated Support — and pay only for what they configure.
2. Guided Pilot Program: Humanova offers a guided pilot program allowing organizations to test core capabilities (check-ins, coaching, leave analytics) with a subset of their team before committing to a full rollout. This serves as a land-and-expand motion into the broader subscription platform.
