Qredifai raises funding at $2.5M valuation for AI hiring platform
What's the deal? Mumbai-based Qredifai has raised funding at a valuation of ₹24 crore (about $2.5 million) to expand its AI-powered hiring platform. Founded by Vedant Tewari and Deepanshu Jajra, the startup lets companies search, evaluate, and connect with verified professionals using artificial intelligence.
What's the endgame? Qredifai is building an ecosystem where organisations discover talent based on skills, experience, availability, location, and AI-generated insights. The aim is to make recruitment proactive — letting companies find candidates instantly rather than wait for applications.
Why now? Recruiters often spend weeks filtering resumes, coordinating interviews, and verifying information before hiring. Qredifai wants to cut that friction by giving employers direct access to a growing network of verified professionals across industries.
What's next? The company plans to invest the funding in product innovation, adding smarter candidate recommendations, recruiter automation, workforce intelligence, and verification tools. It projects serving more than 1,000 companies by the end of 2027.
The signal: India's HR technology market is shifting towards skills-based hiring and automation, with intelligent matching, recruiter productivity tools, and automated verification moving to the centre of modern workflows. As competition for skilled talent grows, platforms that reduce hiring friction are becoming a bigger part of the employment ecosystem.
