The Virtual Key Story
Virtual Key was born out of a simple idea: founders and growing businesses need smarter, faster, more affordable HR support without the complexity.
Our founder recognized the gap: startups and SMEs were either struggling with rigid, expensive HR models or overextending their existing teams.
Virtual Key was founded to bridge that gap by providing HR and administrative services that are human-centered and flexible.
Today, we’re proud to be the trusted partner for over 120 businesses across industries, offering task-based support, virtual admin services, recruitment, and HR outsourcing with one promise:
We move at your pace, with growth in mind.

Meet Amruta Heblikar:
The Visionary Behind Virtual Key
From leaving her hometown to pursue higher education in London to leading HR teams in three countries, Amruta Heblikar has always believed in the power of purposeful growth.
With an MA in Marketing and a Diploma in Human Resources Management, Amruta gained valuable international experience while living and working in the United Kingdom. She later relocated to India, where she worked for reputable firms such as Tonic Worldwide and CRISIL, before settling in Dubai, where she now proudly resides.

Along the way, she developed vibrant engagement programs, strengthened company culture, and advocated for employee retention.
As the world changed after the pandemic, Amruta noticed a clear gap: startups and SMEs were struggling more than ever with recruitment, compliance, and cost-effective human resource management.
She embarked on her own journey to develop a solution and established Virtual Key in 2021. This platform is designed to empower growing businesses by providing flexible, task-based HR and administrative support.
