HKS Manpower Group

HKS Manpower operates from offices in London and New Delhi, positioning itself as a tech development, design, and marketing agency focused on outsourcing and staff augmentation. The company is led by Raunaq Sahni (Managing Director, India) and Harleen Sethi (Managing Director, London). Its India base is housed in what it describes as Asia's largest co-working space, offering 1 GHz internet speeds and infrastructure including a shuttle to the metro, airport proximity within 10 minutes, and parking for over 500 cars. The firm has worked with over 40 businesses across the USA, UK, Canada, Norway, UAE, and India, completing 30+ projects to date.

Services and capabilities

HKS offers three main engagement tracks. HKS Expertise targets short-term projects (1–3 months) with turnkey solutions. HKS Talent Pool provides dedicated teams on annual payroll (minimum 12 months). HKS Workforce supplies contractors or part-time staff (typically 6–12 months).

On the tech side, the company builds websites and applications using WordPress, React, Webflow, Shopify, Bagisto, Magento, Laravel, and Angular. It staffs projects with software architects, front-end and back-end developers, QA testers, and e-commerce specialists. For e-commerce specifically, HKS handles full-stack support: site development, Amazon and eBay integration, web security, stock management, customer support, and conversion optimization.

Design work includes UI/UX design and brand identity work—fonts, typefaces, color systems, logo placement, and image style guides. On the marketing side, HKS offers social media management (storytelling, campaign development), digital marketing (search, display, AdWords, media buying and planning), and graphic design. The company also supplies remote helpdesk support and on-site hiring for IT roles (L1, L2, L3 support staff).

The source emphasizes that offshoring to India can reduce costs by over 40%. As part of staff augmentation, HKS handles hiring, screening, equipment provisioning (laptops, fibre internet), and performance management.

Notable work

Completed projects include Studio Very Bien (Webflow), Just Go Pal (React mobile), Future Paper (WordPress), The Old Natural (Shopify mobile), Study Post, WWF (Bootstrap), ChargerGoGo (Webflow mobile), Grand Slam Baseball, The Herb Boutique (WordPress), and Tomorrows India (React). The source lists these as portfolio pieces but provides no detail on scope, timeline, or outcomes.

Testimonials mention Opus, Inspired Learning Group, and ALP Overseas LTD. Inspired Learning Group's HR head noted that HKS helped the organization expand from 3 to 15 settings over five years, providing "outstanding manpower solutions" with "fully compliant recruitment checks." ALP Overseas LTD's director credited HKS with supporting the setup of UK operations with "seamless and timely" staffing.

How they work

Engagements are structured around project duration: one-off/short-term work (HKS Expertise, 1–3 months), dedicated teams (HKS Talent Pool, 12+ months), or flexible workforce hiring (HKS Workforce, 6–12 months). The company positions itself as able to "establish a reliable team overnight." For offshore operations, HKS provides the full infrastructure stack—hiring, screening, equipment, and ongoing management—rather than staff alone.
