Starter Packs

Structured entry offers for common, high-stakes HR situations.

Starter Packs make it easier to begin with Dr.CHRO when the problem is specific enough to scope clearly. They are designed to give growing companies a credible first step, without forcing a larger advisory commitment before it is needed.

Tell Us What You NeedHow It Works

Why Starter Packs exist

A clearer first step than a vague advisory conversation.

Some companies know they need help, but not whether they need a long engagement. Starter Packs create a more concrete way to start when the situation is common, urgent, or easy to define.

Defined scope

Each pack is built around a specific problem pattern, with a clearer boundary than open-ended advisory.

Faster to start

Useful when the issue is already live and you need a practical starting point quickly.

Senior judgment, still structured

You are not buying generic templates. You are buying CHRO-level judgment in a more contained format.

Bridge into broader advisory

If the problem turns out to be larger than the pack, Dr.CHRO can move you into a wider managed engagement.

Launch packs

The four starter offers at launch.

These packs cover the situations we expect to be most common in the first phase of Dr.CHRO: exits, hidden risk, compliance foundations, and focused expert guidance.

Featured — Starter Pack

Termination Playbook

Most urgent

The right way to handle a difficult exit, legally, practically, and with dignity.


Best for

Founders, CEOs, and operators facing a termination, difficult exit, or sensitive performance situation that now needs decisive handling.

Problem solved

Poorly handled exits that expose the company to legal risk, reputational damage, internal distrust, or unnecessary escalation.

What's included

  • Review of the situation, documentation, and business context
  • Guidance on process, sequencing, and communication approach
  • Assessment of likely legal and people-risk pressure points
  • A written practical playbook for handling the specific exit situation

Expected outcome

A clearer, more defensible exit process that reduces avoidable mistakes in a high-stakes moment.

Starter Pack

HR Risk Check-Up

A structured review of your current HR exposure before it becomes a bigger problem.


Best for

Founders or operators who suspect there are people, policy, or compliance gaps but cannot yet see the full shape of the risk.

Problem solved

Undiagnosed HR exposure across employment contracts, people practices, documentation, and statutory compliance.

What's included

  • Review of current contracts, core HR documents, and selected policies
  • High-level compliance gap assessment against common Indian SME obligations
  • Identification of immediate, medium-term, and structural risk areas
  • Written summary with prioritised next-step recommendations

Starter Pack

HR Compliance Starter Pack

Get your core employment practices and HR documentation to a defensible baseline.


Best for

Growing businesses that have reached the point where informal HR practices are no longer safe enough.

Problem solved

Weak or missing contracts, policy gaps, and compliance ambiguity that create avoidable exposure as the company grows.

What's included

  • Review of core employment documentation and policy coverage
  • Baseline compliance checklist tailored to the business context
  • Recommendations on priority documents, fixes, and sequence
  • Practical guidance on where to tighten the operating baseline first

Starter Pack

Expert Advisory Sprint

Direct access to senior CHRO judgment on a specific, time-bound people challenge.


Best for

Companies with a defined question, decision, or short project that needs senior HR perspective but not an open-ended engagement.

Problem solved

Lack of experienced HR judgment around a specific business-critical people decision or short-term piece of work.

What's included

  • Structured intake on the issue before the session
  • Focused advisory engagement with a senior CHRO
  • Clear recommendations and next-step guidance
  • Pathway into wider advisory if the issue is larger than first appears

Expected outcome

A faster path to a high-quality decision on a focused people or organisational question.

Enquire about this sprint

Right when the issue is bounded enough for targeted senior input.

Which path is right?

Use a Starter Pack when the problem is clear. Use managed advisory when it is not.

A Starter Pack is not meant to replace broader advisory. It is meant to make the first step easier when the situation fits a known pattern.

Choose a Starter Pack

Best when the situation is specific.

  • You know the immediate issue you need help with
  • You want a clearer starting point and scope
  • The problem is urgent but still relatively bounded
  • You want to begin without a wider advisory commitment

Choose managed advisory

Best when the problem is broader or still emerging.

  • The issue spans multiple people, teams, or decisions
  • You need ongoing guidance rather than a one-off intervention
  • The right path is still unclear and needs diagnosis first
  • You need a matched CHRO for a more complex engagement

Common questions

What companies usually want to know before choosing a pack.

Starter Packs are meant to reduce ambiguity, not create more of it. These are the questions we expect most often.

Can a pack lead into broader advisory?

Yes. A pack can be the first step if the issue later turns out to be more structural, sensitive, or complex than expected.

What if my issue does not match a pack exactly?

That is normal. The packs cover common patterns, but the right next step may still be a broader managed advisory path.

Are these designed for Indian SMEs?

Yes. The site and initial offer structure are framed around growing Indian companies and the realities they are operating inside.

Need help choosing?

Tell us the situation, not the answer.

If you are not sure which Starter Pack fits, or whether broader advisory is the better path, start with a short enquiry. We will tell you honestly what makes sense.
