Being childhood friends Bharath and Ashok always used to hang out together. During one such meetup as a group started discussing the problems which companies are facing to recruit the right candidates. With so much of advancement being made in the technology recruitment/ Talent acquisition still remains behind. After brainstorming on the initial idea and making sure all the objectives of Employers, Career Consultant and Jobseekers are taken care the founders were convinced with the idea. Now that was not enough, the idea had to be validated before even thinking about leaving the cushy jobs. So they did speak to several employers, Jobseekers and consultants to make sure the idea is worth it before making a deep dive into the venture.

People have a wrong perception to compare Udyogii to other job portals in the market. This is because they have just seen the other job portals and are still unaware of operating a business model of Udyogii.
Udyogii’s USP is to provide video resume of the job seekers to the employers. Every candidate in the platform who registers as a job seeker can pitch themselves on a video. They can do it any number of times as it can be done on Mobile apps and in a controlled environment.
People can get a better idea if they watch our explainer video.

About funding, plans for growth
We started our venture with some of the savings from our previous assignments. Gradually it started getting moderate revenue. We thank our friends and family for being so supportive in our journey. With the help of them, we managed to raise a capital of 20 lakhs which has helped us to scale up our business. However, we also look forward to investments from the VC’s to take it to the next level.
Challenges and Opportunities/ Marketing Strategies
Udyogii has a unique business proposition. Having built a world-class platform, we are confident that it solves the problem to the delight of the customer. Udyogii and its team has set a benchmark for itself and always strive to exceed the expectations of the client. This requires a consistent effort and for a right reason keeps us awake at night.
Future plans
Udyogii is completely ready with its innovative technology platform on Web and Mobile application (iOS and Android). It is different from other job portals. Nowadays, it is not possible to judge a candidate by seeing his/ her resume. So Udyogii has come up with Velfie Resume where the employers can have an interaction with the candidates at the first level before proceeding further. The employers can post and the candidates will also get a real-time notification on the interview status updates.
Currently, we are operating mostly with the companies in Bengaluru and has been successful in bridging the gap. In the coming months, we have plans to expand to other cities in India.
A quote from the founder on the journey, or dealing with the challenge, or any inspiring moment.
“So far Udyogii has been successful in running the show. We have a great vision that is guiding us i.e. to eliminate or curb the unemployment in India by 2025. It is a lot of responsibilities on our shoulder and I would say we have just started on this great journey. I would take this opportunity to thank my entire team who have contributed to the growth of Udyogii ” says Bharath Bushan
