The HR tech market in India is experiencing rapid growth, driven by automation, AI, and the demand for skilled professionals across industries. However, companies find it difficult to coordinate hiring, digital access for their frontline emp- loyees, and expec- tations for compliance and retention. The HR tech sector has difficulties in delivering training, using the latest technology and guaranteeing equal rights for socially disadvantaged people. While professional services and digital tools are growing in demand, HR tech should evolve to deal with various workforce problems, boost productivity, fit new rules, and encourage community growth and inclusion.
To solve these problems, Meraqui, founded by Dr Shalin Maheshwari (Chairman) and Lalit Singh (CEO), offers a tech enabled workforce management platform, specializing in employee lifecycle management, job and requisition management and training and interview and assessments. Meraqui is reinventing the way the frontline workers in India are being sourced, trained, deployed, and empowered. The company helps various sectors like automotive, telecom, tech services, oil and gas, aviation and heavy logistics to overcome the hiring gaps, unclear productivity levels and a lack of employee involvement. Meraqui modernizes hiring, onboarding, payroll, and training in one platform, simplifying the system, and guaranteeing compliance.
Innovative Platform Design
Workers who use Meraqui’s Meraverse App can easily access their payroll, view important documents, keep up with new rules, and benefit from wellness resources, all from their phones or tablets. The software is set up for those who find it difficult to read and write and helps lead to high usage rates. Decision-making is made better on the platform using markers for behavior, location tags, and skills, allowing a 45 percent time drop in hiring and leading to better retention. “Thanks to our design and AI integration, our platform offers a clear
and flexible experience”, says Lalit Singh, Co- Founder & CEO, Meraqui.
Since India has many marketing sectors, Meraqui designs solutions that fit each culture and includes cultural intelligence in everything. The use of local teams in sourcing and language-specialized tech support, along with custom approaches in each state allows the company to fit the needs of every micro-market.
When working in sectors like oil and gas or manufac -turing, company includes specific hiring steps, safety rules, and short onboarding plans, as well as cooperating with skill councils in these industries. The process helps people to communicate well, creates a shared understanding and supports learning by matching workers with their right cultural roles.

Documents and training modules are linked together, making it simple and fast to implement needs with minimal development effort. This process ensures clients comply with strict rules and can respond quickly to changes.
