Online job seekers portal Monster India has launched #MakeIndiaWork — a central hub that will bring together start-ups, job seekers, investors, incubators and mentors on one platform.
The section can be accessed on MonsterIndia.com, under which the portal will provide business networking opportunities through a holistic 360-degree approach to start-up activities such as hiring and job posts, funding and investment, and expert advice- and knowledge-sharing.
Monster’s existing database of job seekers will serve as a ready pool for start-ups.
The platform already has more than 40,000 registered job seekers as well as 150 start-ups across sectors such as IT, manufacturing, FMCG, e-commerce, amongt others.
Some of the mentors already on-board #MakeIndiaWork include Maheshwer Peri, Chairman and Founder, Careers360.com; Alok ‘Rodinhood’ Kejriwal, Founder, 2win Group; Arunachalam Muruganantham, CEO, Jayaashree Industries; Vishal Gondal, CEO GOQii.
Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster India, will also be mentoring entrepreneurs. This initiative will also be gradually launched in other global markets.
“The digital revolution, coupled with the start-up evolution, has played a key role in transforming India’s reputation as the hotbed of the next big idea(s). This propelled us to come up with #MakeIndiaWork. We were clear that #MakeIndiaWork needs to go way beyond hiring, talent management and networking,” said Monster’s Modi in a statement.
