Varuna sends personalised check-ins to your team, collects status updates, surfaces blockers automatically, and delivers a synthesised digest to you — all without a single meeting.
Define what you want to know — daily standups, weekly status updates, blocker reports, or custom questions. Set the cadence, participants, and format. Varuna handles everything from there.
Fully customisable templatesAt the scheduled time, Varuna sends each team member a personalised check-in via WhatsApp or email. Questions are context-aware — referencing their current tasks, recent activity, and known blockers.
WhatsApp and email deliveryTeam members reply in natural language — no forms, no apps to open. Varuna reads every response, extracts status updates, flags blockers, and identifies items that need manager attention.
Natural language responsesYou receive a synthesised digest: who responded, team overall status, individual highlights, blockers that need your input, and a confidence score for project timelines. All in under 2 minutes.
Manager digest in 2 minTeam members respond right in WhatsApp — the app they already have open. No new login, no new app. Response rates for WhatsApp check-ins are 94% versus 41% for email-only tools.
→ 94% response rateVaruna doesn't send the same question every day. It adapts based on task progress, recent activity, and team context. If Ravi just finished a milestone, today's check-in asks about what's next, not what he's working on.
→ Context-aware questionsWhen a team member mentions a blocker — even implicitly, like "waiting on approval" or "can't proceed until..." — Varuna flags it immediately, categorises the blocker type, and notifies the relevant manager.
→ Instant blocker alertsVaruna tracks response sentiment and engagement over time, building a team health score. Drops in morale, rising stress signals, or disengagement patterns surface before they become retention problems.
→ Early warning systemReplace your daily 15-minute standup meeting with a 2-minute async check-in. Teams report the same quality of status visibility with 90% less meeting time — giving individual contributors back an hour a week.
→ Replaces daily standupsTrack response rates, blocker frequency, on-time task percentage, and team confidence scores over time. Identify which teams need more support and which processes are creating friction.
