Recruit41 Cuts Time-to-Hire and Boosts Precision with its GenAI-Powered Interview Platform
Recruit41's breakthrough lies in fundamentally re-architecting the hiring funnel through a coordinated system of AI agents - each focused on a specific friction point in the workflow. The platform doesn't just automate steps; it enables structured evaluation, real-time contextual interviews, and adaptive fraud detection at scale, transforming how companies identify and assess talent.
The company is founded by Sripathi Krishnan, Swetha Suresh, and Samkeet Jain, with strategic backing from Anshuman Singh, Harshit Singhal, and Himanshu Varshney. The founding team previously built and scaled HashedIn, which was successfully acquired by Deloitte, bringing decades of experience in building product-first and talent-intensive companies to their mission of making hiring faster, sound, and more intelligent.
Recruit41 is the first in the world to bring agentic-AI into structured, JD-specific interviews with defined evaluation rubrics. Interview questions and evaluation are rooted to BLOOM and SOLO scientific frameworks. Recruit41's commitment to interview integrity is paramount. This is upheld through a comprehensive, multi-layered system that begins with the interview's design, continues with real-time behavioral analysis of the candidate, and concludes with a contextual post-interview analysis.
What sets Recruit41 apart is its ability to simulate real-world work environments during interviews, evaluating candidates on their use of AI tools, spreadsheets, and presentation software - mirroring how work actually gets done today. The platform supports both technical roles in engineering and data science, as well as non-technical positions across marketing, operations, and product functions. "We're not trying to replace human judgment. We're giving it superpowers," said Co-Founder, Dr. Swetha Suresh, emphasizing the human-AI collaboration model that allows the hiring team to focus on strategic decisions while AI handles scale, consistency, and speed.
Recruit41 is already trusted by global consulting firms, fast-growing ITES, and product companies to identify top technical talent with precision, accelerate hiring without compromising quality. It has been used for both high-volume campus drives and with AI-powered shortlisting that achieves a 3:1 hire ratio.
"Swissnex in India operates a small high-performing team. We place significant emphasis on the recruitment process, including a two-day stint at our office before making a final offer. Through Recruit41, we could give the first-round interview opportunity to a significantly larger pool of applicants and in the process we were able to customize the interview experience in order to get the most relevant insights covered. Recruit41 seamlessly worked with us hand in hand, giving us a very personalized experience. What stood out was how Recruit41 customized the results view to our decision-making style, empowering us to look at more candidates. Full access to recordings, transcripts, and evaluation data makes it a great decision support tool" said Jonas Brunschwig, CEO, Swissnex in India.
"We had our own hiring framework at Sucimani, and Recruit41 was able to mimic that with precision. Their platform delivered a one-and-a-half-hour interview that covered fundamentals, coding, and technical Q&A - with randomized case scenarios to reduce cheating," said Suyash Motarwar, CPTO, Sucimani.
Recruit41 is built for the realities of Indian hiring and benchmarked to global standards. Having powered over 2.76 million interactions, Recruit41 combines scale with trust through enterprise-grade infrastructure and ongoing ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance.

Infosys' confidence in better future in contrast to TCS's mood in the IT camp
Infosys Ltd has become the first major Indian IT services company to express confidence in a turnaround, even as peers like Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) and Wipro Ltd adopt a cautious stance amid macroeconomic uncertainty and Gen AI disruptions. In a conversation with Kotak Institutional Equities analysts, Infosys chief executive Salil Parekh said tech spending is likely to improve. This comes after US President Donald Trump's tariff flip-flops have put client spending in limbo. 'Tech spending is likely to improve with lower macro uncertainty in developed markets,' said Kotak Institutional Equities analysts Kawaljeet Saluja, Sathishkumar S., and Vamshi Krishna, in a note dated 19 August. Infosys gets more than three-fourths of its business from developed markets, including the US and Europe. Most of Infosys's growth is driven by its financial services vertical, which makes up a little more than a fourth of its revenue. The brokerage also noted that the country's second-largest IT outsourcer is confident of meeting its FY26 guidance. 'The company is reasonably confident of meeting its FY2026E outlook,' Kotak analysts added, citing resumed transformation programs and easing trade uncertainties. The Bengaluru-based IT services company also raised the lower end of its FY26 guidance to 1-3% in constant currency terms in July, higher than the flat 3% growth it had projected in April, which was its slowest revenue guidance in at least a decade. Constant currency does not take currency fluctuation into account. Much of the increase in guidance was because of its acquisitions of US-based MRE Consulting and Australian cybersecurity services firm, The Missing Link, for about $98 million, both of which were announced earlier this year. However, Bengaluru-based Parekh was not all that sanguine on the macroeconomic environment back then. 'With the current outlook, we have seen a lot of the discussion on the economy worldwide having come to more stable situations but still seems that it's not fully settled," said Salil Parekh, chief executive of Infosys, during the company's post-earnings press conference on 23 July. A second reason for Infosys's newfound confidence is its reliance on its margin improvement plan. 'Competitive intensity for large deals remains elevated, but early focus and Project Maximus have helped maintain stability,' Kotak said. Project Maximus is Infosys' margins expansion programme launched in July-September 2023. It focuses on better large deal execution and reduced costs as one way to retain margins. Parekh's commentary is similar to that of New Jersey-based peer C. Vijayakumar, who is the CEO of HCL Technologies Ltd. 'We observed that the environment remains stable from an overall perspective, with some variations across specific verticals. It also did not deteriorate as feared at the start of the quarter,' said Vijayakumar, as part of his prepared remarks during the company's post-earnings press conference on 14 July. Infosys and HCLTech ended the April-June 2025 period with $4.94 billion and $3.55 billion, respectively, up 4.5% and 1.3% sequentially. Like Infosys, the third-largest HCLTech also narrowed its revenue guidance last month. The company now expects revenue growth between 3% and 5% in constant currency terms, higher than its 2% guidance on the lower end it had called out in April. Still, this is coming at the cost of margins. Last month, HCLTech lowered its full-year operating margin target to 17-18% from its earlier stated 18-19%. Although the management of the country's third-largest IT services firm attributed it to restructuring costs, analysts said this was to attract more business. Both companies reported a decline in profitability last quarter. Infosys and HCLTech reported operating margins of 20.8% and 16.3%, down 20 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively. Infosys' upbeat tone contrasts with TCS, which recently announced a 2% workforce reduction, about 12,200 employees, citing strategic initiatives. TCS posted a 0.59% sequential revenue decline last quarter, the worst among India's top five IT firms. Much of TCS's recent growth was driven by a $1.83 billion BSNL contract, which is nearing completion. Analysts warn that without a replacement, FY26 could see revenue decline. 'The magnitude of BSNL ramp-down (if it goes un-replaced) would mean that FY26 could be a year of declining revenue,' Motilal Oswal analysts said on 11 April. Despite this, TCS remains the most profitable among peers, with operating margins at 24.5%. While revenue growth has not been an issue for Infosys, similar concerns have been raised in the past on its ability to win deals valued at over $1 billion. Fourth-largest Wipro Ltd and fifth-largest Tech Mahindra Ltd have also adopted a cautious outlook amid macroeconomic uncertainties. They ended last quarter with revenues of $2.59 billion and $1.56 billion, down 0.35% and up 0.97%, respectively. However, a second brokerage said the mood across the largest IT outsourcers is expected to improve going forward. 'Demand, albeit soft, did not deteriorate. Increase in lower end of revenue guidance by INFO and HCLT indicates players don't expect deterioration going ahead too. Strong order backlog and a healthy deal pipeline likely limit downside,' said JM Financial analysts Abhishek Kumar, Nandan Arekal, and Anushree Rustagi, in a note dated 19 August. The brokerage added that the US Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts could benefit the country's $283 billion IT industry. 'Moderating inflation expectations, easing labour market situations (including IT Ops /Helpdesk/Software development jobs) and possibly the expectations that companies will absorb tariff-linked cost escalation have improved odds of Fed-rate cuts in September. This could possibly be a catalyst for mean reversal in IT Services' valuation,' said the JM Financial analysts. Rate cuts enable companies to borrow money from banks and financial institutions, with which they can fund their tech projects. For now, investors have not been all that enthusiastic about the country's top three IT outsourcers. Since the start of the year, TCS, Infosys, and HCLTech's shares have dropped 24.4%, 20.46%, and 22%, respectively.

PRNewswire Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 20: In a world dominated by Silicon Valley AI breakthroughs, AI Fiesta is rewriting the rules. India's first AI super-app is scaling globally faster than some of the Valley's most iconic launches. One subscription. Six top AI models. Built in India for the world. Co-founded by India's #1 creator Dhruv Rathee (30M+ subscribers) alongside YC-backed Mohammad Hasan and Divyanshu Damani, co-founders of TagMango, India's largest creator platform is on track to facilitate over ₹1000 crores in creator earnings, combining mass influence, proven start-up execution, and deep trust. Within 36 hours of launch, AI Fiesta crossed $3 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and gained 20,000+ paying users, setting a new benchmark for India's tech ecosystem. The platform unites six of the world's most powerful AI models in a single subscription, making sure users get the best of each model for whatever they want to do: writing, coding, design, analysis, and more. Priced at ₹999/month or ₹834/month annually (GST included), it delivers access to multiple premium AI tools at less than half the cost of a single subscription elsewhere. "AI Fiesta is the first global AI subscription born out of India - built on trust, affordability, and speed," said Dhruv Rathee. Speaking at the launch, Mohammad Hasan, said, "This isn't just a tech product, it's a movement. Our goal is simple: every Indian, from coders to creators, should have access to world-class AI without needing a foreign credit card or a $20/month budget. AI shouldn't be a luxury, it should be a utility, and AI Fiesta makes that possible." "Every AI model has different strengths--ChatGPT in reasoning, Gemini in images, Perplexity in search, Claude in writing, and so on. With AI Fiesta, you don't have to pick. We've brought the best of each into one subscription at a price that makes sense--so you always get the right tool for the right job, without compromise," said Divyanshu Damani. In a global first, AI Fiesta launched UPI payments, two days ahead of OpenAI, making AI seamless and accessible to millions across India's digital economy. Backed by a combined reach of 300mil+, the founding team has only just begun to unlock its full distribution power. The platform is already being seen as one of India's most significant contributions to the global AI ecosystem.

Indian retail sector to reach $1.93 trn by 2030: Deloitte-FICCI report
Anchored by a deep home market which can act as a buffer against global trade volatility, the Indian retail sector is projected to nearly double to $1.93 trillion by 2030 from $1.06 trillion in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10 per cent, according to a Deloitte–FICCI report issued on Wednesday. Moreover, evolving Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and tariff realignments are further enhancing India's export competitiveness, allowing 'Made in India' products to reach new markets with reduced barriers and cost advantages, the report pointed out. 'The rising purchasing power, including Gen Z's direct spending capacity of $250 billion, is not only sustaining domestic demand, but also fuelling brand confidence to scale internationally. This convergence of domestic resilience and improved global market access positions India as both a consumption powerhouse and a formidable export base,' stated the report titled 'Spotting India's PRIME Innovation Moment'. 'The Indian retail and consumer landscape is undergoing a transformation, amplified by a digital first, premium-yet-inclusive consumption wave, rapid expansion of quick commerce, and the explosive growth of direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands,' it added. According to the report, online marketplaces now influence 73 per cent of purchase decisions, with YouTube reviews (40 per cent) and peer recommendations (51 per cent) emerging as trusted alternatives to traditional influencer marketing. It further said that India is the world's first scaled quick commerce market, operating in over 80 cities and growing at a CAGR of 70–80 per cent. 'Consumers today are not just buyers; they are empowered decision-makers, and their preferences are evolving rapidly. In India, digital platforms already drive about 17 per cent of total fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) consumption, with quick commerce generating 35 per cent of FMCG brands' e-commerce revenue,' said Kumar Venkatasubramanian, chief executive officer at P&G India, and chairman of the FICCI FMCG committee at the summit. According to the report, the quick commerce segment is projected to reach $35 billion in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) by 2030, supported by lakhs of delivery partners and an increasingly electric fleet – demonstrating a growth in demand for immediacy. 'This ongoing growth of agile models like quick commerce and e-commerce, powered by a surge in digital payments, has created unprecedented opportunities for enhancing consumer experience,' Kumar added, pointing to the need for flexible and agile supply chains, which can become a competitive differentiator.
