Tortoise

Tortoise offers an employee device benefits platform that enables businesses to provide their workforce with preferred work devices at no upfront cost to the employer. The company facilitates device leasing, comprehensive policy configuration, and seamless payroll deductions, eliminating the need for internal asset management. This solution empowers employees to access and eventually own essential smart devices, enhancing productivity and job satisfaction.

The company was founded in 2020 by Vardhan Koshal, Surya Harsha Nunnaguppala, and Nikhil Joy. Their initial focus involved creating a savings-led shopping experience, which subsequently evolved into the current enterprise-focused platform. This transition reflects an insight into the complexities and costs associated with traditional employee device provisioning, leading to the development of a streamlined, benefit-oriented approach.

Tortoise primarily serves large-scale enterprises seeking to modernize their employee benefits packages and streamline technology procurement. Its mission is to help companies attract and retain talent by offering valuable device benefits, ultimately allowing employees to experience and utilize cutting-edge technology. The long-term vision centers on optimizing employee well-being and operational efficiency through accessible and flexible device solutions.
