MOU unites AHRP’s new brand and member platforms, Sentiva’s AI-native HR innovation, and Altrium’s global engineering expertise to redefine the future of HR.
Colombo, Sri Lanka – September 4, 2025 – The Association of HR Professionals (AHRP), Sri Lanka’s leading HR body, announced the signing of a three-way Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sentiva, an AI-native HR platform covering every stage of the employee journey, and Altrium, a New York-headquartered software consultancy specializing in Generative AI solutions with its engineering center in Sri Lanka.
The event, titled “Concord”, was held at Shangri-La Colombo, hosted by Sentiva, and celebrated multiple milestones: AHRP unveiled its refreshed brand identity and website, reflecting a bold vision for the future as it celebrates 25 years of service to the nation’s HR community. Sentiva shared updates on its platform expansion and announced that its global launch is scheduled for October at the World AI Summit in Amsterdam, underscoring its mission to help organizations hire smarter, engage more effectively. Altrium, recognized for building intelligent platforms that handle over USD 3 billion in transactions annually, developed AHRP’s new website and brand identity, serving as AHRP’s strategic technology partner.
The three-way MOU establishes a long-term strategic collaboration to strengthen HR innovation, digital adoption, and professional development in Sri Lanka.
A highlight of the evening was the panel discussion, “Disengagement is the New Resignation,” moderated by Ashan Rodrigo. The panel featured Dinusha Jayamanne (Brandix), Kaushal Mendis (Mova/ARA), Oshana Dias (Fortude), and Yohan Liyanage (Sentiva). Panelists examined the silent cost of disengagement, how to spot early warning signs, and the need to redesign work for resilience and trust. They emphasized moving beyond quick fixes to future-focused strategies that balance performance, well-being, and the smart use of technology.
“This partnership represents more than technology—it’s about building sentient workplaces that can listen, adapt, and grow with their people,” said Yohan Liyanage, Founder and CEO of Sentiva. “With our global launch set for October at the World AI Summit, we are proud to showcase how an AI-native HR platform can transform the way leaders approach talent, culture, and growth.”
By digitizing and streamlining operations, AHRP’s new platform will enhance member engagement, enable seamless access to resources, and create a stronger foundation for collaboration within the HR community.
“At Altrium, we are passionate about applying our expertise in Generative AI to deliver platforms that create real impact,” said Rukshan Salgado, Director of Delivery at Altrium. “Our work with AHRP reflects our commitment to empowering professional communities with technology that is secure, scalable, and future-ready.”
The event also honored AHRP’s 25-year journey as a trusted voice for HR professionals in Sri Lanka. With its new digital identity and partnerships, AHRP is positioned to expand its impact and lead the next generation of HR innovation in the country.
