Kellton, an AI-led digital transformation and enterprise technology consulting company, has won the Best HR Tech Implementation (HRMS) Award at the BW People Tech.Future Awards 2026 for its execution of the Government of Karnataka’s Project HRMS2 workforce transformation programme.
The recognition highlights Kellton’s role in creating a unified digital human resources ecosystem for more than 5.20 lakh government employees across 105 departments and directorates.
Project scope
The HRMS2 platform integrates employee lifecycle management, payroll processing, workflow automation, digital service records and analytics into a single system, replacing multiple legacy processes.
Designed with a scalable architecture, the platform accommodates diverse departmental policies while integrating with various government systems to create a reliable real-time workforce data framework.
The initiative has helped improve governance, streamline administrative processes and support faster data-driven decision-making across the State’s workforce.
Implementation
Kellton said the project was delivered through a phased implementation approach supported by structured change management and dedicated hypercare services.
The programme digitised decades of employee records through a Digital Service Register while ensuring continuity of public services during the transition.
Management comment
“Delivering one of India’s largest public-sector workforce modernisation initiatives reflects the trust placed in Kellton to execute mission-critical transformations at national scale, a responsibility we deeply value,” said Kellton Chief Executive Officer Karanjit Singh.
“This initiative demonstrates how integrated digital platforms can streamline administration, enable data-driven governance and establish a trusted foundation for informed decision-making across complex public institutions. More importantly, it reinforces Kellton’s ability to partner with organisations on transformative programmes where scale, integration, operational continuity and long-term impact are essential to success,” he added.
