About CG Foods

FMCG

Total - Employees 996

Headquarters - Gurugram, India

Established in India in 2006, CG Foods India Private Limited is a prominent food processing and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company widely recognized for its popular brand, Wai Wai Noodles. A core part of the global Chaudhary Group ecosystem, the company operates seven manufacturing plants and a nationwide sales force across India, structurally divided into three regional operating zones. With an on-roll technical and operational workforce of nearly 1,000 professionals, CG Foods focuses on catering to diverse regional market needs through rapid, localized production.

Challenges Before greytHR

Managing payroll, compliance, and time tracking across a geographically distributed manufacturing and sales infrastructure requires deep operational visibility. For the HR leadership at CG Foods, relying on legacy manual tracking tools restricted administrative speed and created coordination challenges across factories.

Extended, Multi-Day Payroll Verification Cycles

The monthly payroll routine required gathering disparate workforce logs from multiple manufacturing units and sales divisions. Because the data compilation was heavily reliant on manual processing, closing a single monthly payroll cycle took up to 10 days, restricting the department’s overall turnaround speed.

The Shift to greytHR: Unifying Multi-Plant Operation

Moving away from paper registers and manual Excel tracking, CG Foods adopted greytHR to support its
multi-plant operations and establish better internal consistency. The company focused on setting up multiple
modules like Payroll and Leave & Attendance, bringing all employee data into a single system

Benefits Experienced After Implementing greytHR

60% Faster Payroll Processing Turnaround

By substituting manual Excel tracking with automated data validation, CG Foods slashed its monthly payroll processing cycle from 10 days down to just 4-5 days. This substantial reduction ensured much faster, error-free monthly closures

Direct Biometric Hardware Synchronization

Integrating the company's factory-floor biometric hardware directly with the software eliminated the vulnerabilities of register-based tracking. CG Foods’ HR team can now instantly fetch accurate data from all 7 plants at regular intervals, allowing managers to verify logs digitally before issuing banking sheets.

67% Reduction in Administrative Resource Dependency

Consolidating core lifecycle milestones within a single platform unlocked significant team optimization. Administrative routines like onboarding, code generation, asset requisition, and final settlements are now easily overseen by a single coordinator - reducing the necessary administrative headcount from three heads down to one.

Streamlined Employee Transparency via Self-Service

greytHR provided the 996-member workforce with an intuitive web and app interface to monitor their professional details independently. Employees achieved immediate, on-time access to digital payslips, localized holiday calendars, and transparent leave tracking charts with automated notifications.

CG Foods India Private Limited’s experience with greytHR reflects a natural progression in strengthening HR processes as the organization grew. Centralizing leave tracking, biometric attendance, and core lifecycle workflows within a unified portal allowed CG Foods' HR team to move away from scattered manual registers and Excel tracking. This transition successfully cut monthly payroll processing windows by around 60%, optimized backend resource dependency from three heads to a single coordinator, and provided employees with immediate visibility into their personal work data. With this structural modernization in place, CG Foods’ HR infrastructure is now fully stabilized and primed to handle a greater operational load without increasing administrative overhead or manual friction.
