In its Series B investment round, Vahan.ai, an Al-driven recruitment platform focused at the blue-collar workforce, raised $10 million, according to a statement from the firm. The funding round was led by Khosla Ventures and included US-based Gaingels and Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma among other investors.The recently raised money will be used to expand Vahan.ai’s product offerings into the manufacturing and retail industries.
Additionally, the business intends to improve its Al technology, strengthening and optimizing its platform.
Vahan’s Al Recruiter can currently conduct interviews in Hindi and English, but within the following year, it is planned to include eight more Indian languages and dialects. As a result, a larger group of job searchers nationwide will have easier access to the site.
Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, commented on the investment, saying, “Vahan.ai has consistently demonstrated a commitment to leveraging Al in a way that goes beyond mere technology—it’s about creating real-world impact. As an early supporter, I’ve seen firsthand how their innovative approach is redefining recruitment for the blue-collar workforce in India. Al has the power to shift paradigms, transforming challenges into opportunities.”
Vahan.ai, a Bengaluru-based company, was the first to employ Al in the hiring of blue-collar workers for industries including food delivery, grocery delivery, quick-commerce, and e-commerce. Since its launch, the site has partnered with well-known businesses like Zomato, Swiggy, Flipkart, Zepto, Blinkit, Amazon, Rapido, and Uber, placing over 500,000 workers in over 480 cities.
