## About

Based in Mumbai, India, and founded in 2019 by Nirmit Parikh, Apnatime Tech Private Limited operates as a provider of an online recruitment platform that allows blue or grey collar workers to find and apply for jobs. The company is backed by investors including Sequoia Capital India, Insight Partners, and Tiger Global, which led a USD 100 million series C funding round in September 2021. As of October 2021, Apnatime Tech Private Limited is operating in 35 cities and serving over 1 crore users, and 1.5 lakh employers trust the Apna platform.

Apna provides a jobs marketplace and a community for blue-collar workers where they can engage and exchange notes to perform better at interviews and share tips to negotiate better compensation. The platform also has an upskilling feature that allows workers to learn new skills to become eligible for more work opportunities and connect them to their potential employers. Workers can browse jobs by categories and by places of work.

Apna plans to double down on its edtech platform for skills and accelerate its hiring of talent. It also plans to expand to new markets such as the USA, South East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa starting in 2022.
