Okay, here’s what you’re the most curious about, but we could only share as much (for the sake of confidentiality). Our portfolio has three major products currently under development:
Zariya AI: India’s bet on Native AI for rural employment.
Think about your maids, cooks, sweepers, guards & gardeners: did you ever find them on LinkedIn? Of course not. Conventional hiring platforms have done the classic privileged mistake of assuming they’d go through ten pages of authentications, sign-ups and searching in the English Language for someone who’s barely studied till 5th Grade; essentially rendering them out of the digitization cycle. Not due to the lack of options, but simple inaccessibility.
For us, we couldn’t resist solving the mess: from visiting villages on foot, speaking to enough workers to understand how no Naukri, Monster, Internshala and LinkedIns of the world hold any relevance in communities ruled by “Thekedaars” and word of mouth since the dawn of time. Better not talk about the exploitation one has to face on either sides.
The most effective way forward lies in harnessing Conversational AI: an emergent, unrefined yet rapidly advancing frontier in NLP — to orchestrate autonomous, agentic workflows that preserve the nuance and authenticity of human dialogue.
Hear Zariya AI live in action:
This is only step 1 of what we’ve achieved, as we step further into integrating multiple adjacent workflows, edge cases and build something truly autonomous in nature: a result of not just time, but on-ground research and multiple experiments.
#2. Recruitment Platform for HRs.
****Recruitment AI sure is Oddmind’s first ‘for-startups’ tool built in India with a Notion-like outlook. Extremely powerful, thoughtfully crafted, and packing in the latest suite of Conversational LLMs & GenAI build for HRs & Founders drowning in applications.
For organizations receiving a 1000+ applications every month, committed enough not to miss any gems in the pile of applications, the platform intelligently categorizes files into custom mappings & taxonomies, initiates telephonic calls them on your behalf and determines if they’re the right fit for your organization.
Coupled with an AI interview module uniquely tailor made to company requirements and candidates. So you don’t have to fill your calendar up to the brim and still reject 899 applications with the “unfortunately, we had to move forward with another candidate”, giving a solid chance for candidates for representation and conversation.
#3. Interview AI platform for Students:
In the three years of working with students at The Debating Society prior to Oddmind Innovations, we understood a few things: You could be a technical maestro, but it essentially means nothing if you can’t communicate effectively in isolation, let alone 45 minute interviews with recruiters.
For many students, their first major job interview also ends up being the first interview of their life, not even a mock beforehand — and that’s honestly a shame. You can’t rely on your roommate, who doesn’t know shit either, or ask your faculty, because they come from academia. And buying daily mock interviews on Topmate isn’t sustainable either
We get it, we’ve been in your shoes. Building a practice platform keeping you battle ready: Software Development, Consulting, Product, Sales, Design interviews; you name it.
"Just as it's illegal for military leaders to send soldiers into battle without weapons, Universities should be mandated to equip students with communication skills, since their success in life depends completely on how well they speak, write, and think—in that order."
