Nair, though, pointed out that there is a dearth of adequate AI talent in India, especially those required to service niche areas within AI. “To address this, we are hiring AI talent from diverse geographies. Being a remote organisation has helped us scale our AI department without restricting ourselves to just India,” Nair said.
Local jobs and professional networking platform apna.co also plans to deploy about 65% of its more than 400 fresh hires for 2022 across engineering, data science and product teams.
Bengaluru-based startup Yellow.ai, which helps businesses automate their customer experience service, will expand its employee base to over 1,000 globally from the current strength of more than 700. About 85%-90% of the firm’s workforce is based in India. “We are looking to ramp up hiring across our sales, marketing, service and core engineering, that is, product and platform, departments. The bulk of our hiring would be from a pool of experienced candidates, with 20% of it focussed on hiring freshers,” said Co-founder & CEO Raghu Ravinutala.
Social commerce startup DealShare will add more than 5,000 staff in 2022. A large part of the fresh recruits will be used to build on its tech capabilities. The firm banks on gamification and personalisation to draw more consumers. Owing to the lack of equipped tech talent in the market, DealShare plans to invest heavily in employee skill development and training programmes.
MyGate said it has about 200 open positions largely in tech, product management and business development departments.
