Bengaluru, Karnataka, 28 May 2026 – The veteran entrepreneur and TiE Bangalore board member has joined HiFives to drive the next stage of global expansion in the employee rewards and recognition sector.
HiFives, a leading AI-enabled employee rewards, recognition, and engagement platform, recently announced that Murlidhar S has come on board as a Strategic Advisor. This move arrives at a critical juncture as the company builds on its strong growth momentum and refines its focus on becoming a global leader in the multi-billion-dollar R&R technology market over the next three years.
In recent years, HiFives has recorded accelerated expansion, fueled by rising enterprise demand for digital-first, scalable recognition solutions and the trust of top-tier clients across multiple industries and regions. The platform allows organizations to digitize and automate employee experience through real-time recognition, AI-generated insights, and smooth integration with daily existing workflows.
Murli brings a diverse mix of entrepreneurial, operational, and advisory expertise. He is the founder of MeritTrac Services, India’s largest skills assessment firm, which was later acquired by the Manipal Education Group and Lodestar Career Guidance. A governing board member at TiE Bangalore and an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow and the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, he has played a key role in mentoring and scaling up multiple high-growth ventures.
Commenting on the development, Sagar Chaudhuri, Co-Founder and CEO of HiFives, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Murli as a Strategic Advisor during this period of rapid scaling for HiFives. His track record of building and growing businesses, paired with his in-depth understanding of talent and enterprise ecosystems, will be an unmatched asset as we strengthen our global footprint and speed up innovation efforts.”
Murli added, “HiFives is addressing a key unmet need in how organizations engage and motivate their workforces in a digital-first world. As company culture, employee engagement, and talent retention grow in priority, platforms like HiFives are becoming mission-critical for business operations. I’m excited to support the team as they work to build a globally impactful organization.”
For HR leaders, this appointment could not come at a more relevant time. Industry trends show that over 70% of employee recognition programs struggle to deliver expected ROI due to insufficient digitization and system integration. At the same time, organizations that invest in structured recognition programs see up to 20% higher productivity and far lower voluntary employee attrition. As workplaces become more distributed and experience-focused, platforms that enable consistent, inclusive, and data-backed recognition are emerging as strategic drivers of business performance.
With Murli’s guidance, HiFives aims to further boost its product innovation efforts, expand its global presence, and help enterprises unlock measurable business benefits through modern, AI-powered recognition ecosystems.
