Last week, when Zomato chief Deepinder Goyal and his wife Grecia Munoz took to the streets of Gurugram, taking upon themselves the task of delivering orders, the idea was to better understand the challenges faced by their delivery agents. Working towards that end is Bengaluru-based AI startup Vahan.ai, which is tackling a broader issue of providing employment opportunities for gig workers aspiring to work with similar platforms.
Founded in 2016 by Madhav Krishna, Vahan.ai uses AI to tackle hiring challenges for blue-collar workers in India. The platform effectively connects job seekers with appropriate opportunities while assisting employers in identifying the ideal candidates.
To date, the company has successfully placed over 500,000 workers across more than 480 cities.
