Indian companies use a wide range of designations, from Software Engineer to Senior Tile Artisan to Founders Office Sales and Strategy. Offrd generates offer letters, manages payslips, and tracks attendance for every designation your company uses.

Not 50. Not 100. More than you would expect.
Same industry. Same cities. Same growth stage. Every company seems to have developed its own nomenclature. A Roto Artist sits next to a Relationship Manager. A Founding Engineer shares a payroll run with a Laundry Quality Control officer. A Senior Tyre Fitter gets an offer letter alongside a Principal Consultant in AI.
This is not a problem with Indian companies. It is simply how they grow. Indian SMEs span manufacturing, services, retail, healthcare, logistics, and media. The designation list reflects that.
Beyond the top 20, the list becomes genuinely motley. Titles like Area Grassroots Development Officer, Field Survey and Stickering Operator, and On Air Talent sit next to names you would recognize from any job board.
Some titles are precise to a fault. Regional Sales Manager - Sector 1. City Head. Center Head Surat. Others are broad enough to mean almost anything: Growth Officer. Associate. Business Growth.
A good chunk of all designations appeared exactly once in the data. One company, one title, probably written by a founder late at night when drafting the first offer letter.
"Every designation in your company touches at least four HR workflows. The offer letter. The payslip. The attendance record. The onboarding setup."
A wrong designation in the offer letter shows up in the payslip. The payslip feeds the attendance record. The attendance record goes into onboarding. One entry error, four places to fix it.
When you have 15 employees with 15 different titles, this is manageable. When you hit 60 or 80 and have a mix of legacy titles, variants, and one-off roles, it gets messy fast.
The hours add up. Correcting a designation mismatch in a payslip. Reissuing an offer letter because the title was entered wrong. Hunting down why an attendance record does not match the employee profile. None of it is hard. All of it takes time that nobody budgeted for.
Most HR software assumes your company has a clean designation structure. You pick from a dropdown. You map everyone to a grade. You follow the hierarchy.
That works for a 500-person company with a dedicated HR team. It does not work for a 40-person company where the owner also does sales calls and the Office Boy was recently given the title Administrative Coordinator because someone felt it was more respectful.
Three hiring phases and nobody cleaned up the designation list. Offrd does not require that cleanup. Add the employee, add the title as it is, and the documents follow.
Enter the designation as your company uses it. Add the CTC structure, probation period, and joining date. The letter comes out formatted and ready as a PDF.
Monthly payslips with the designation, salary breakup, and statutory deductions as set up. No role grades required. Each employee is configured individually.
Tracked per employee, not per role. Each person has a record tied to their profile. No end-of-month spreadsheet to reconcile against another system.
From offer letter to first payroll cycle, Offrd handles the paper trail. One place instead of four tools stitched together over WhatsApp.
These are real titles entered by real companies. Use the filters to explore by category, or search for a specific role.
