Indore-Based Startup Supersourcing, A Talent Platform For Hiring Remote Engineers, Bags $500,000 In A Seed Round

This is the era of digitization and with a major push from the government, India is witnessing the emergence of Startups across numerous sectors. It is indeed a positive sign for a rapidly developing economy like India as Startups are a backbone of the country's economy and financial growth. However, also a fact remains is that not every Startup is able to survive in this cut-throat, ever-evolving landscape and generally in a span of 5 years since its inception, it perishes due to a plethora of reasons. For a successful startup, it is important to have already done the market research, to have a young hard-working team that can bring innovation to the table, is solving a rapidly emerging problem, and to have investors ready to impose their trust on the brand. Having all of these together, Supersourcing is one such startup that has made a name for itself in the realm of talent outsourcing.

Incepted by Mayank Pratap Singh and Aditi Chaurasia in the year 2020, Supersourcing is a platform that assists companies, majorly IT companies, in hiring skilled remote engineers and developers to work on their projects. The demand for remote working, post the Covid-19 Pandemic, has become a new norm across the globe and India is no exception. However, finding engineers and developers that are willing to work remotely and have the appropriate skill is a daunting task for companies. Understanding this and taking advantage of the evolving changes in the industries, both Mayank and Aditi, young generation entrepreneurs, came up with the idea of floating Supersourcing. Laden with a team of young people, the platform, in a short span of time, has become the talk of the town for all positive reasons. During their initial growth stage, they have successfully raised INR 1.5 crores in a round of seed funding from big names like Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Founder, PayTm), Dr. Ritesh Malik (Founder, Innov8 Coworking), Nikhil Sharma (Principal Consultant, Capco) and Ankush Agarwal (Founder & CEO, Tree Cap Consulting, Dubai). 

Since the initial fundraising and having gained the trust of some of the leading angel investors, Supersourcing has worked rigorously with a holistic approach towards catering to the rising demand of remote engineers and developers for projects. Having immensely worked towards upgrading their platform and incorporating advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, they not just provide companies with engineers but individuals who suit their requirements and can do justice to the project. For the convenience of both engineers and clients, Supersourcing has made the entire talent outsourcing process hassle free. You must be wondering how? 

They ensure this by making engineers go through skill-based tests and to understand their technical knowledge, they use Mettl & Interview Vector. Once they have passed it, they have to go through another round of tests in which their team of experts analyse them based on parameters like Logical Reasoning, Domain Experience, and Communication over a video meeting. With the use of Artificial Intelligence and other technologies, they filter engineers based on the requirements of the clients and accordingly schedule a video interview with the client, and eventually, the hiring is finalised. In addition to this, for utmost security and ensuring the highest quality of talent, they also manually verify all data points through different sources. Using cutting-edge technology, Supersourcing has not just fastened the entire process but has also delivered on the aspects of quality, saving time, energy, and money for their numerous clients which include 28 Unicorns, 32 YC-funded companies, and 70+ Global VC fund portfolio companies. 

With the aim to disrupt the industry and be the next big thing, Mayank Pratap Singh and Aditi Chaurasia, the Co-Founders of Supersourcing, are leaving no stone unturned to take their startup to unprecedented heights of success. For understanding of the prevailing scenario of the industry, they recently went for another round of fundraising and raised half a million in a seed round. The new round of investors included KubeVC (a Venture Capital Firm based out of United Arab Emirates that has 5 Unicorns in their portfolio), Nitin Sethi (Chief Digital Officer, Founding Leader of Adani Digital Labs), Nikhil Sharma (Principal Consultant, Capco), Rajesh Gaur (Head of Investment Solutions, Zoe Financial), Saurabh Gupta (Senior Program Manager, Stripe), Arpit Bung (Technical Lead, Guidewire), Sandeep Acharya (Senior Manager IT Application, Pidilite Industries Limited), Jaykumar Raithatha (Solution Architect, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board), Phani Priya Raju (Angel Investor- HeadStart Network, LetsVenture) and Sapan Singhai (Business Analyst, Infosys, USA).

Witnessing a growth rate of 20 percent a month, having successfully touched the milestone of reaching USD 3M ARR in mere 16 months, and serving names like Amazon, Google, Zoom, and Stripe surely goes to prove that Supersourcing is not just here to stay but to rule the talent outsourcing industry.
