Yuga: Future of Work SaaS. Designed in 202n For 202n Problems
I’m Kiran, Founder of Yuga. This is me.
Yuga’s mission is to empower people to manage careers well — to stay in control, be proactive and intentional about it — and get companies to enable so.
The Future of Work is one where individuals have more leverage than companies, as we’re already witnessing with the Great Resignation, where the pandemic has made everyone reconsider priorities. That means two things:
- pre-pandemic tools and methodologies of employee retention and employee engagement, especially ones that not organic to the culture, won’t cut it anymore
- management style cannot not be empathetic and biased only to company goals — a proactive, aware approach is inevitable, especially with remote
With that in mind, onto what Yuga is.
Yuga’s core is a Career Planner that lets individuals
- plan their long and short-term goals
- engage a mentor of choice
- maintain a private work (brag) journal to keep track of wins throughout the year
- keep/take Yuga beyond their current job — Yuga uses LinkedIn for login, not enterprise login
Yuga allows managers
- to work with employees right on their Career Planner to learn aspirations, coach and empower them — for proactive retention
- to engage new hires and onboard them on Yuga even before they join
- to acknowledge employee choice of employer, since Yuga spans beyond the current job
This kind of a first-principles approach begets trust like no other. The Good Managers already do all this using ad-hoc note-taking tools — with Yuga, that playbook becomes systematic and democratic for all managers.
Yuga is super light-weight, works alongside your other HR/OKR tools and can scale out of the box, given the unique individual-centric (B2C) design.

Note: Yuga is not yet another employee engagement bot or pulse survey tool — these tools work reactively and aren’t designed for the new normal. Yuga’s focus is to “left-shift” (prepone in timeline) employee engagement to be proactive and intentional
