Indian employers needing self-service POSH Act compliance without consultants

POSHready is a self-service digital compliance platform for Indian employers, designed to help organizations manage the entire process from policy formulation to execution evidence under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act). Its core objective is to bring the policies, training, internal committees and complaint handling required for compliance together into one online portal, reducing dependence on consultants, lawyers and lengthy preparation cycles.

In terms of purpose, the platform covers the main aspects of POSH compliance: employee training and certification, policy drafting and management, setting up an Internal Committee (IC) by office location, complaint intake and resolution, as well as audit-facing dashboards, reports and audit trails. The platform offers a free 3-minute readiness check, generates a scored gap report, and does not require a credit card; if activated from that report, the first 2 months are free.

Key capabilities include:

1. Training and certification module: automatically issues login credentials, employees complete POSH training online, certificates with timestamps are automatically generated and stored in the portal as permanent, verifiable proof. HR can view each employee's training status through the dashboard.
2. Policy management module: supports guided drafting of a POSH policy, or uploading a policy drafted by legal counsel and activating it immediately; tracks each version, and provides download and acknowledgment records for each employee as proof of communication.
3. Complaint and Internal Committee management: employees submit complaints through a secure portal, and the system handles them through a nine-stage workflow with built-in statutory SLA timers and a tamper-proof audit trail; one Internal Committee is set up per office location as required by law, including mandatory external members, with guidance on formation and a location-by-location composition check; complaint access is limited to the committee for that office location.
4. Dashboards and reports: real-time display of SLA status, case pipeline and training completion, with export of case reports and certificate ledgers for audits.
5. Audit readiness: a tamper-proof digital audit trail is retained for every action, complaint records are access-controlled, and complaint statistics, resolution timelines and stage-by-stage records are provided.

In terms of use, the platform is positioned as self-service. The process is roughly: register the company and choose a plan, upload employees individually or in bulk via CSV, and the system automatically issues credentials; employees complete training online and certificates are automatically generated; then configure the policy, Internal Committee and complaint workflow; dashboards, reports and audit trails continuously maintain compliance status. The official statement says the team needs about 2 hours of involvement, and external IC members and the platform's compliance team handle their respective parts, which are included in the service.

The applicable scenario is Indian employers, especially those wishing to achieve POSH compliance in a self-service way, reduce dependence on consultants, and need training certificates, policy records, Internal Committee formation and complaint handling records; larger organizations can also choose a custom plan, including a dedicated account manager, HRIS/SSO integration, priority support and SLAs, customized reporting and analytics, and bulk pricing for large teams.

In terms of limitations, the materials do not state whether the platform supports jurisdictions outside India, specific data storage locations, a mobile app, multilingual support, or details of plug-and-play integration with specific HR systems. Pricing information is subject to the official page: the training-only plan is 700 rupees per user (one-time) plus 18% GST; the full compliance management plan is charged monthly, plus a training fee of 700 rupees per employee (one-time), and 2,200 rupees per additional office location per month; the custom plan requires contacting them. The platform is built by Avallark Services LLP and has ISO quality management and information security management certifications, with certificate numbers 305026080781Q and 305026080782IS respectively.
