Is the gStride ROI calculator free and does it need an email?

Yes. The live ROI calculator is free and needs no email — enter team size, anchor city, and industry, and the four-tile breakdown, total annual recovery, and ROI multiplier update instantly. An optional email gate unlocks a deeper PDF with per-team-member math, a meeting-load audit framework, and a 30-day pilot deployment plan, but the on-page calculation itself stays anonymous.

How does the gStride ROI calculator estimate annual recovery?

The calculator sums three components against the gStride benchmark of INR 25,000 per month per team. Productivity-intelligence lift applies an 18% baseline throughput lift times an industry factor (IT Services 1.0, B2B SaaS 1.2, BPO 0.85, Consulting 1.15, Fintech 1.25). Meeting-load recovery is 4 hours per week times 50 weeks times team size times a blended hourly rate. Attrition prevention is a 1% attrition reduction times 60% replacement-cost recovery times blended annual cost. Workforce cost uses a blended midpoint of an Ahmedabad fresher anchor (INR 50,000/month) and a senior anchor (INR 2,50,000/month), scaled by a city multiplier.

Where do the city and industry benchmarks come from?

The benchmarks are composite 2026 estimates from advisor interviews and listing data, not customer-specific figures. City multipliers anchor Ahmedabad at 1.0x, with Pune 1.15x, Hyderabad 1.18x, Delhi NCR 1.32x, Mumbai 1.32x, Bangalore 1.4x, and Other India 1.05x. The 18% productivity lift is a baseline observed on small Indian IT teams running gStride pilots, adjusted by an industry factor. Because the inputs are composite, calibrate the output to your team's role mix before treating any single number as a decision boundary.

Is the ROI figure a guarantee of savings?

No. Every figure the calculator returns is an indicative planning estimate built from composite 2026 benchmarks, not a guarantee, a quote, or customer-specific data. Actual results depend on your team's role mix, current tooling, meeting culture, and attrition baseline. Use the output to decide whether a 15-minute demo on your real data is worth your time, then validate the assumptions against your own numbers.

Direct answer: The gStride Workforce Productivity ROI Calculator estimates the annual rupee value of an Indian IT or services team’s productivity gap from three inputs — team size, anchor city, and industry — and compares it against the gStride benchmark of ₹25,000 per month per team. It returns four live tiles — annual workforce cost, productivity-intelligence lift, meeting-load recovery, and attrition prevention — plus a total annual recovery figure and an ROI multiplier, in about 30 seconds with no email required for the live calc. The numbers use composite 2026 benchmarks from advisor interviews and listing data (city cost multipliers, an 18% baseline throughput lift, and a 4 hour/week meeting-recovery assumption), not customer-specific data. Treat every output as an indicative planning estimate to calibrate against your own role mix, not a decision boundary or a quote.
