Keka alternative
Keka is a genuinely good tool: keka is a well-regarded india-market hr and payroll platform. Teams move to Atlas when one tool is no longer enough and they want CRM, HR, and e-signature in the same workspace. Here is the honest case.
Why teams switch
To be clear: India-based teams that need deep local statutory payroll compliance and a payroll-first HR platform tuned to Indian regulations.
Keka centers on payroll and core HR. Teams that also need projects, CRM, and contracts move to Atlas so people operations sit beside the work and revenue they support.
In Atlas, people records connect to the projects those people deliver and the deals they close, which unifies reporting instead of keeping HR in its own system.
Rather than pairing a payroll platform with separate project and CRM tools, teams adopt Atlas to cover HR, projects, CRM, and contracts on a single workspace.
The all-in-one advantage
Keka owns India statutory payroll depth (PF, ESI, TDS) and we do not claim to match local compliance breadth. Atlas gives teams a solid HR suite on the same data model as projects, CRM, and contracts, so the whole business runs in one workspace.
