Anagha Bildikar, a 2024 Human Resource Executive HR's Rising Star, has a mantra: Problems can be complicated. Solutions are simple. This touchstone, she says, is a helpful reminder in a season when the human resources practice is more complex than ever.

Bildikar is the leader of HR practices at Neeyamo, a global payroll and employer-of-record platform established in 2009. Headquartered in India, the organization was founded to address the payroll needs of mid-market human resource departments.

Today, its "follow-the-sun," 25 language-strong workforce has 1,700 employees mainly in 36 global locations. And workers in 60 countries handle the specific needs of the jurisdictions Neeyamo serves. The average workforce age is a youthful 24.5.
