What Saira does

Saira People Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd, operating as Saira Jobs, is an India-based private social-impact startup founded in 2022 and headquartered in Banasawadi, Bangalore. The company runs an online job platform, sairajobs.com, that connects employers with three explicitly targeted candidate pools: senior citizens, women returning to the workforce, and people with disabilities (Specially Abled / PWD). Saira positions itself as a high-tech, high-touch remote hiring platform that emphasizes work-from-anywhere arrangements and continuous upskilling support for placed candidates.

The core product is the Saira Job Portal, featuring a proprietary score-matching algorithm intended to pair candidates with suitable roles while serving both sides through authenticated profile, job search, and job status portals. An adjacent Upskilling Program functions as an add-on module providing training and skill development pre- and post-placement. Saira monetizes via employer-paid transaction fees on successful candidate placements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are issued on direct inquiry. Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve web platform for candidates and SMBs, direct enterprise sales (led by a Manager - Partnerships) for larger employers, and an NGO referral channel sourcing candidates from eight named partners (Samarthanam, WinVinaya Foundation, Help The Blind Foundation, Nightingales Medical Trust, Aasha Infinite Foundation, Vayah Vikas, Cheshire Disability Trust, Atijeevan Foundation). Saira claims 55+ employer clients including HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, Intuit, Tech Mahindra, Tally Solutions, Salesforce, Meesho, and SEG Automotive, a stated 95% candidate placement rate, 75% candidate referral rate, and 50% business repeat-engagement rate.

Operationally, Saira has 11-50 employees, has received accelerator support from Microsoft, Razorpay, and the Wadhwani Foundation, is a member of CII, and won the MS Ramaiah Star Start Up Award. The company has disclosed only an incubator-level investment from IIML Enterprise Incubation Centre and Ramaiah Evolute in 2024; no broader venture funding rounds are reported. Leadership includes CEO and Co-Founder Rajanikanth Krishnamoorthy (ex-SAP, founder of WinnWin), COO and Co-Founder Indumathi K (ex-HCL, TCS), and Chief Growth Officer MadhuMunjuluri (ex-Agilent, Extremda/Synopsis), supported by a VP, Heads of Recruiting and Consultancy & Training, and four strategic advisors with backgrounds at Capgemini, Times of India, Patni Computers, Borregard, and Alltech.
