Why PROWESS exists.

Fifteen years on the ground.
I have spent fifteen years running facility operations for Bengaluru offices. Most of that time I watched the same pattern repeat: admin heads signed contracts, paid invoices, and had no real way to know whether the work on their floor actually happened. Attendance registers were signed in bulk. Supervisors were 'around.' Monthly reports described activity in adjectives, not evidence. I started PROWESS in 2022 because I was tired of the gap between what clients paid for and what they could prove.
PROWESS runs daily facility services — housekeeping, supervision, security, pantry, office coordination, scheduled deep cleaning — across Bengaluru corporate offices, IT parks, and commercial buildings. Every person on every site is on our payroll. A named supervisor owns every site. The supervisor walks the building every shift and logs what happened, what got missed, and what got fixed. Your admin team sees the log. That is not a product feature. That is the minimum standard of operation we will accept.
We run our own people — on our payroll, trained by us, supervised by us. No sub-contracting. No labour contractors. No anonymous hand-offs.
We work only in Bengaluru. We work only in corporate offices, IT parks, and commercial buildings. We do not run residential, hospitality, or industrial FM. Our focus is deliberately narrow because supervision at this standard does not scale by spreading thin. If we are not the right fit for your building, we will tell you on the site visit. Most Bengaluru CFOs have been promised pan-India coverage by vendors who could not staff the next floor. We would rather run 40 sites well than 400 at 60%.
What four years has taught us.
Supervision is the entire product.
Ninety percent of client complaints come from the gap between the work a vendor claims they did and what actually happened. When a named supervisor walks the site every shift and logs it, that gap closes. Everything else in our operation is in service of making that one thing reliable.
Attrition kills continuity. We plan for it.
Vendor staff turnover in this category is 30 to 50 percent a year. We cannot prevent turnover, but we can prevent it from damaging the client. Every site has a second-in-line supervisor trained alongside the primary. Every SOP is written down, not held in one person's head. When someone leaves, the site does not collapse.
Compliance is not a sales pitch. It is the floor.
PF, ESI, bonus, gratuity, CLRA license, wage register — these are not features we highlight. They are the legal minimum. Our clients get a compliance pack every month with the challan copies, because under the Contract Labour Act they are jointly liable if we default. We treat that liability as a shared responsibility, not a vendor problem.
What you can hold us to.
These are the specific commitments PROWESS publishes. If any one of them is broken, the issue is escalated to a co-founder within one working day. We do not publish metrics we are not confident meeting.

From site visit to scoped written proposal.
A named supervisor is on your site from the first shift, not week two.
If a supervisor-confirmed no-show happens, we dispatch a trained replacement from our standing reliever pool within two working hours. Sites do not go uncovered.
Challan copies, attendance, wage register — delivered on the same calendar day every month.
Any supervisor-logged exception gets an admin-team response within one working hour.
Any issue not resolved in 24 hours reaches Manjunath, Sumalatha, Salma, or Praveen directly.
Every proposal itemizes wages, PF, ESI, bonus, gratuity, uniforms, supervision, and margin. Our margin range is 8-12%.
We review these commitments quarterly. If we break one repeatedly, we change it — not the other way around.
