In February 2025 the company launched ADVA, marketed as the world's first agentic AI for employee experience, operating through a proprietary CARE framework (Culture-led, Achievement-led, Rewarding Key Moments, Engagement-led) and executing multi-step tasks including peer recognition, gift redemption, wellness access, and policy queries. The platform integrates with major HRIS systems (Workday, SAP, Oracle Fusion, Darwinbox, Peoplestrong, ZingHR), identity providers (Azure AD, SAML, OpenID), and collaboration tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365), and maintains ISO 27001:2013, ISO 22301:2019, SOC 2, and EU GDPR compliance to support enterprise procurement requirements.

Custom enterprise solutions include localized reward catalogs, custom marketplaces (400+ SKUs), and tailored wellness programs. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a dedicated North America sales organization (SVP and VP roles), supported by web-based platform delivery, native iOS and Android applications, and a channel partnership with Lockton, the world's largest independent insurance brokerage, through which the co-developed LocktonThrive wellbeing platform is delivered to large Indian employers.
