The Beginning
In March 1997, as the influence of the Internet was
beginning to grow in
India,
naukri.com was launched as a floorless employment exchange.
A platform for employers and jobseekers, to meet and
exchange information. The site was
launched , with databases of jobs, resumes and
placement consultants. In October 1997, the service went
commercial. By then more than 50 companies had tried the
services and were satisfied with the responses received.
Since then, the client list for
naukri.com, has increased to over 25,000 companies.
Info Edge started in 1989 and was gradually taken over by
Info Edge (India)
Pvt. Ltd which was incorporated on May1, 1995. It was in the
business of selling reports and providing project and
marketing related consulting services to its clients. Info
Edge also provided management consulting services to a
number of clients in
India
and abroad.
In 1991 the Department of Telecommunications began to
experiment with Videotex
services. Info Edge registered as an information provider
with DOT for providing information about vacancies over
Videotex. The
Videotex pilot project of DOT
however did not take off and Info Edge was forced to abandon
its plans for this service. Over the next few years Info
Edge evaluated the idea of providing job information to the
public independently but was unable to identify a
financially viable technology backbone till the Internet
entered
India.
The site aims to provide Indians with Indian qualifications
the maximum opportunity for their career growth. It has also
been promoted in all parts of the globe, where Indian
qualifications are acceptable, and clients have been
enlisted. Over 10% of our current corporate client list
consists of companies located in
USA,
Africa,
Middle East
and
Far East.
Similarly about 5% of the individuals approaching
Naukri are
NRIs wanting to return to
India
or register with naukri to look
at opportunities in
India
or globally.
