Lattice, the best-in-class people platform where people and AI succeed together, announced the acquisition of Mandala’s AI-native coaching technology and the addition of its founder, Tarun Galagali.
This acquisition is fundamental for Lattice to build its AI-native future and gives significant momentum in Lattice’s People + AI strategy. Lattice continues to lead the integration of AI with performance management in service to its customers – and helping them no matter where they are on their own AI journey.
Mandala‘s founder, Tarun Galagali, will be responsible for leading the development of new AI-native capabilities in Lattice’s people platform. This enables Lattice to serve customers at all stages of AI adoption – from beginners to advanced users.

This acquisition builds on the company’s existing foundation of performance data, innovations, and trusted engagement insights that help managers grow, lead, and succeed –including its Lattice AI Agent that aligns teams and coaches managers in the flow of work. By being the first to build AI-native solutions that incorporate data for on-demand reviews and calibration, Lattice helps free up time for managers to be more connected, insightful, and impactful leaders.
“Most platforms tell you what happened. We’re building the layer that tells you what to do next. By bringing AI-native capabilities directly into the platform, we’re helping managers lead better in real time by connecting people performance to business outcomes in a way that’s never been possible before. This is how we make work meaningful for everyone,” says Sarah Franklin, CEO of Lattice.
“Tarun’s pioneering work represents exactly the kind of innovative thinking that will drive step-level change not just for Lattice, but for the HR and performance management industry entirely,” says Franklin.
