“Having Aakash Chaudhry and our new group of investors in the fold makes the HONO journey even more exciting. Their presence and this strategic investment not only establishes our investors’ faith in the business but also reinstates our belief and the belief of the market in the direction HONO is evolving. We have, for years, been advocating that the future readiness of HR or organizations lies in their use of data for better productivity and happier people. And for that to happen, they need to have a single-source-of-truth backed by truly smart systems. With this new impetus, we will be able to take this farther and do it globally, at scale,” said Mukul Jain, Founder & CEO of HONO.

We expect HONO’s growth curve to show a much steeper rise hereon. Besides, we value the strong and constructive relationship with HONO, developed over years of association with them as a client. We believe in working with brands that are committed to revolutionizing the industry. And HONO’s vision, client centricity, and high-end solutions show that promise,” said Aakash Chaudhary.
