About us

Started with five people. Now a Family of twenty one hundred plus.

NM Ingenious Management Services Pvt. Ltd. is a workforce outsourcing, retail execution and HR services company built inside Indian stores. We started in February 2008 as Ingenious Management Services, since then we have spent every year as learning what actually moves product.

Established 2008 · Mumbai, India

Who we are

A retail execution company that happens to be brilliant at HR.

We provide workforce outsourcing for the FMCG and retail sector, third-party payroll management for MSMEs, SMEs, start-ups and MNCs, and staffing services for product promotion, beauty advisory, merchandizing and front-line sales.

Our people work inside modern trade and general trade outlets across 31 states and union territories, in 185+ cities and towns. They are recruited against a defined profile, trained on the brand story, groomed to standard, supervised weekly and reviewed on what they actually sold.

Everything runs on our own mobile-first technology, from IMS-Connect for the field to an automated HRMS that handles hire-to-retire. Statutory compliance is not an afterthought; it is the foundation the whole operation stands on.

Our strengths

Five disciplines we refuse to compromise on.

01

Excellence in Project Execution

Right person, right store

Selection built around fit for the specific counter, not just headcount.

Training that never stops

Promoters and merchandisers are coached on end-to-end selling, not just onboarded once.

Performance that matches client goals

Field teams consistently hit the growth numbers clients actually set.

Technology-based monitoring

Real-time tracking of sales, stock, and campaign execution at the last mile.

02

Process Excellence

Efficient by design

Processes built to maximise output from every promoter and merchandiser, not just headcount.

Structured reporting

Sales and stock reporting classified to what each client actually needs, not a generic template.

Performance tracked, end-to-end

Client and NM teams both see how people, processes and apps are performing, and where the next problem is.

HR practices benchmarked to industry standard

Backed by real qualitative and quantitative employee feedback, not box-ticking.

03

Strategic Regional Presence

Where the real hiring intent is

Strong presence in Mumbai, Delhi/NCR and Bengaluru, the three cities with the deepest FMCG hiring intent, backed by regional offices in Delhi and Bengaluru.

One dedicated team per client

Not a shared pool split across accounts. Full client control over the project; NM supplies the people and the execution.

04

Technology, Built-In

HRMS that runs hire-to-retire

Mobile-first HR platform automates the entire employee lifecycle.

Tracking apps built for the field

Fast, intuitive, live in a day, and built to each client's dashboard needs.

Compliance, by default

Every act and government norm, followed to the letter.

05

Transparency as Practice

Trust runs both ways

Open reporting between HR, supervisors, promoters and clients, not top-down only.

Attendance and HR, all on mobile

Fewer gaps, faster resolution, cleaner compliance.

Every document, on your phone

Appointment letters, salary revisions, always accessible.

Payslips, tax statements, Form 16

Available to every staff member, always.

Expense claims, fully automated

No manual chasing, no delays.
