Startup of the Day: Apna

    Share on

If you've ever struggled to find a job or internship online, Apna is the name you need to know. Launched in 2019 by Nirmit Parikh, Apna has grown into India's biggest job platform, connecting 5.9 crore users to opportunities in 900+ cities.

 

But here's the cool part — this success didn't happen overnight. It's powered by a blend of startup hustle and strong government support.

 

Thanks to the India Stack (Aadhaar, UPI, DigiLocker), Apna made job-seeking super smooth and digital. Plus, with Digital India, even small-town Gen Z now have smartphones and internet — which is why 45% of new users come from Tier 2 & 3 cities.

 

Through Startup India, Apna became a unicorn in just 22 months, getting easy funding, fast registration, and investor love. Now, Apna's partnered with DPIIT, giving ₹2,000 hiring credits to startups for each new hire — a move worth ₹140 crore!

 

The result? Startups are hiring faster, cheaper, and smarter (with AI help). Already, 16.67 lakh jobs have been created by DPIIT-approved startups.

 

So if you're job-hunting or launching a startup, Apna isn't just an app - it's your shortcut to opportunity.
