The firm

Practitioners first. A firm second.

Avyan Advisory is a boutique, pure-play SAP SuccessFactors consultancy headquartered in Singapore, with delivery hubs in Manila and India. We help companies across Southeast Asia adopt enterprise HR — and make it work for the way they actually operate.

Our story

Born from frustration with bad implementations.

Avyan was born from frustration — the kind you feel when you watch good companies struggle through bad implementations. We've all been there: the six-month timeline that becomes eighteen, the consultant who speaks in acronyms and delivers in screenshots, the system that promised transformation but delivered spreadsheets with better fonts.

So we built Avyan to be different. We don't sell you features you'll never use — we configure the 80% of functionality that drives real value, not the 100% that pads our hours. We answer the phone at 4 PM on a Friday when things break. Experienced consultants who've done this dozens of times lead the work, not junior analysts learning on your dime. We commit to realistic timelines, and then we keep them.

We're not here to impress you with jargon. We're here to listen, understand your business, build what you actually need, and stick around to make sure it works. This isn't the cheapest way to do HR transformation — but it is the most honest, because we measure success by whether your team actually uses what we build.

We're Avyan. Boutique by design, enterprise-grade by experience.

Rajat Kapoor, Founder of Avyan Advisory

Founder

Rajat Kapoor

Founder & Chief Evangelist

Rajat is a seasoned HR technology leader with over two decades of experience transforming how enterprises manage their workforce. He built his expertise at industry giants like PeopleSoft, Oracle, and IBM before leading regional operations across India and Southeast Asia at SAP SuccessFactors.

Having witnessed countless implementations from the inside, he founded Avyan to fix what's broken in HR transformation: bloated timelines, disconnected consultants, and solutions that look good on paper but fail in practice. His approach is pragmatic — deploy what drives real value, deliver on realistic timelines, and stay accountable through go-live and beyond. At Avyan, Rajat combines enterprise-grade expertise with boutique-level commitment, so every implementation is built around what the customer actually needs, not what sounds impressive on slides.

Operating principles

How we operate.

SuccessFactors only

Pure-play focus. Depth beats breadth.

Content before code

We codify what we learn — every project makes the library, and the next client’s start, better.

Deliberately boutique

A small, experienced team by design. You always know who is on your project, and you can always reach us.

Honest scoping

We’ve advised prospects not to buy modules. We’ll do the same for you.

And yes — if it's HR and it's chaos, we bring the calm.
