This exciting new partnership will help companies streamline their HR operations, stay compliant, and boost efficiency. All this with one easy-to-use platform.

A Strategic Alliance for Smarter HR

HCC, a seasoned technology consulting firm based in Dubai, will now act as Paismo’s implementation partner for the GCC region. With a solid track record of working with everyone from large enterprises to nimble startups, HCC is the ideal partner to roll out Paismo’s flexible and powerful HR solutions.

Founded in 2000 as the tech arm of Crowe Pakistan (the country’s oldest chartered accountancy firm), HCC has evolved into a full-fledged tech consulting powerhouse, delivering tailored solutions across industries.

“Paismo’s product is simple, flexible, and easy to train clients on. It’s made to fit customer needs—perfect for independent use after setup,”
— Tania Chaudhry, CEO, HCC Middle East

Backed by Strong Momentum

Paismo has been on a roll! In August 2023, the startup raised $1.3 million in seed funding led by Indus Valley Capital, with participation from Antler and Jedar Capital, bringing its total funding to $1.5 million. That round helped fuel Paismo’s product development and payroll expansion across emerging markets.

Looking Ahead for HCC and Paismo

By teaming up with HCC, Paismo is doubling down on its mission to empower organizations with smart, scalable HR solutions. This partnership is more than just business—it’s about transforming how teams manage people and payroll, and giving businesses the freedom to focus on what really matters: growing and thriving.
