Multilingual and multimodal employment platform JobsUPI raises Pre-seed funding from IIMA Ventures, others
Along with participation from angel investors like Alok Bansal, Anshoo Sharma, Amit Jain, and Manoj Sinsinwar, JobsUPI, a multilingual and multimodal employment platform, has raised $250K in a pre-seed funding round from IIMA Ventures.
According to a press release from JobsUPI, the money raised will be utilized to improve product capabilities, scale distribution, and enter new markets.
JobsUPI is a multilingual, multimodal, Voice AI-powered employment platform that was co-founded in 2025 by Shrey Bansal and Shubham Periwal with the goal of enhancing job access throughout India. Over time, the platform hopes to make hiring possible in as little as 30 minutes by emphasizing speed, accessibility, and hyperlocal discovery.
By streamlining job search, matching, and applications, JobsUPI is developing a “quick commerce for jobs” model that will enable hiring in as little as 30 minutes. The platform, which is based on an open network architecture, is intended to increase blue-collar and skilled workers’ access to job opportunities throughout India.
Motivated by the idea that access to livelihoods should be as easy as access to commerce, JobsUPI seeks to establish itself as a fundamental component of Bharat’s employment infrastructure. By helping 10 million MSMEs and businesses hire more effectively, the company hopes to create 100 million jobs in the long run.
As of right now, the platform is only available in North India, but it is growing to other areas. It faces competition from players like AamDhanE, Smartstaff, and Apna.
