Devan Sabaratnam is the co-founder of HR Partner 🤝
He explained the business in a recent interview…
HR Partner is a human resources SaaS platform that allows small to medium sized companies (approx. 100 to 500 employees) to manage their team with processing leave requests, onboarding, offboarding, training, expense claims, recruitment, timesheets and much more. We currently have over 2000 customers in 70+ countries and are doing seven figures in annual recurring revenue.
Devan has been working for himself for 30+ years, and at 50 years of age he was already running a successful consulting business 💪
But he wanted to give SaaS a try, and came up with the idea for HR Partner via many conversations in his consulting business…
I know NOTHING about HR, and I am not HR trained. What I do have is over 25+ years of experience in working with small to medium sized businesses, and listening to their problems and challenges during that time.
💰 Six years after launching HR Partner…

50 might sound like a ripe old age to launch a startup, but according to the Harvard Business Review…
And according to Fortune…
Also, it’s not like Devan is one of those superhuman 50-year-olds who can still work crazy hours…
I personally only do about 3 to 4 hours of hard work per day, then another couple of hours doing ‘fun work’ which includes chatting to my fantastic team and making sure they have everything they need to do their jobs. The weekends and holidays are mine and both my co-founder and I take lots of short vacations during the year.
Getting older means that you have to be VERY careful about how you spend your energy, so I only work on stuff that matters now. Everything else just gets ignored.
I’ve found the same: as I get older, I have to be more careful about how I manage my energy.
It’s a gift in a way, as you’re forced to work smarter instead of harder 🤓
