How Karthika Baiju at Vita Mojo improved visibility and decision-making

The Challenge

Vita Mojo relied on several separate tools for HR, performance, and analytics, which caused data silos and extra admin. As the company grew, it needed a single platform to centralize data, improve visibility, and drive strategic people insights.

The Solution

Vita Mojo replaced multiple systems with Bob to manage onboarding, performance, engagement, and analytics. The team implemented 360° reviews, used people analytics for DEI insights, and created a central space for all employee information and updates.

The Results

With Bob, Vita Mojo runs reviews, tracks KPIs, and manages onboarding in one system. Teams can now make faster decisions based on real data, and employees feel more connected, recognized, and supported—no matter where they work.

Over time, what has really impressed me about Bob is the data. I’m all about analytics—about understanding what’s happening with the business. We take our KPI dashboards to our Board to understand department by department what’s happening. Because I’m so data-oriented, I wanted quality data, and that’s what other tools couldn’t provide.
