IIM Ahmedabad’s incubator-cum-investor, Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE), has invested an undisclosed amount of seed capital in Noida-based placement solutions provider Reculta.
The startup will use the funds for expanding its sales team and product development, besides funding its international expansion plans, Utsav Bhattacharjee, co-founder of Reculta said.
Besides Bhattacharjee, an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus, Reculta’s co-founders include Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) graduates Kajal Malik and Vidyarthi Baddireddy. The startup was launched in 2017.
Owned and operated by Reculta Solutions Pvt. Ltd, the startup’s tech-based solutions help colleges and recruiters simplify and improve the campus recruitment process. It allows students to build their profiles online, apply for jobs and receive personalised insights to become industry-ready. The platform also helps users create their profiles using past placement data.
Reculta also digitises campus placement processes to help companies reach out to a wider set of institutions, besides assisting them with screening and selecting the right candidates with the help of analytical and visualisation tools.
IMT Hyderabad, IIM Ahmedabad, FMS Delhi, Xavier University, Symbiosis Law School, IIFT, IIM Raipur and School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, are some of its clients.
CIIE is the technology business incubator at IIM Ahmedabad. Since 2009, CIIE claims to have made around 100 investments and mentored about 5,000 startups.
