Payroll with Purpose — Empowering Youth & Paying It Forward with Rylin Subrayan

For Rylin Subrayan, payroll and HR software is just the platform—the real mission is empowering people. In this Ignite 2025 episode, he shares how his company hires for potential, entrusts young talent with rapid responsibility, and rewards performance regardless of age—helping 21-year-olds earn top wages while building confidence and life skills.

Rylin explains how daily wellness and learning practices—from morning movement to shared hikes—fuel resilience and interpersonal growth. His purpose is rooted in personal experience: after facing limited opportunities due to a cannabis-related criminal record in his 20s, he’s committed to creating a culture of empathy, second chances, and paying it forward.

Reflecting on Ignite, Rylin highlights the keynote of a child soldier’s 2,700 km journey, a story that reframed complaints and deepened his gratitude. His message? Attend Ignite Cape Town—for the speakers, the human stories, and the global friendships.
