About SkillHire

WE ARE FIXING
BROKEN HIRING.

Built by someone who got rejected 120 times despite having real skills. We know exactly what's broken — and we built the fix.

Our Mission

TALENT IS
EVERYWHERE.
OPPORTUNITY
IS NOT.

Every year, 15 lakh engineering graduates in India finish college and hear nothing back from the industry — not because they lack skills, but because the system was never designed to find them.

Recruiters visit the same 50 campuses. Companies filter by college brand. Students from 3,000+ colleges across India — regardless of how talented they are — remain completely invisible.

SkillHire exists to change this. We believe that skill should be the only filter that matters. Not your college name. Not your resume formatting. Not who you know.

"Give every engineering student in India a fair shot at the career they deserve — based purely on what they can do."

The Founder Story

120 REJECTIONS
ONE MISSION.

I graduated from an engineering college you've probably never heard of. I had strong coding skills, solved real problems, and worked harder than most. But when placement season came — I got rejected by 120 companies.

Not because I couldn't code. Because I didn't have the right college name on my resume.

I watched classmates from IITs and NITs with fewer skills sail through interviews that I couldn't even get into. The system was judging a book by its cover — and millions of talented students were paying the price.

That experience gave me two things: a deep understanding of exactly what's broken, and an obsession with fixing it. SkillHire is the platform I needed and never had.
