Client Overview

The client is a Gurugram-headquartered HR tech startup serving Indian enterprises and staffing firms with AI-powered talent acquisition analytics. Their algorithm depended on continuous, structured Indian hiring market data — spanning job postings, salary benchmarks, skill demand, and recruiter activity.

Naukri remains India's dominant job platform, with LinkedIn India, Indeed India, and Foundit providing complementary coverage. Aggregating all four delivers near-complete Indian job market visibility.

Business Challenges

DPDP Act 2023 Compliance

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 imposed new compliance requirements on personal data processing.

Multi-Platform Job Universe

Same role often posted across Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, and Foundit — required sophisticated deduplication.

India-Specific Skill Taxonomy

Indian job titles, certifications, and skill terms required India-specific taxonomy beyond global skill graphs.

IT Services Hiring Patterns

India's massive IT services sector (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, etc.) hired at volumes requiring specialised tracking.
