2COMS Consulting

What 2COMS Consulting does

2COMS Consulting Pvt. Ltd., incorporated in 1993 and headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, is a privately held recruitment and staffing firm that positions itself as a "Complete Human Supply Chain Management Group." The company operates across the full workforce value chain — permanent recruitment, executive/leadership search, contract staffing, apprenticeship program administration (NAPS, NATS, AEDP), Hire-Train-Deploy (HTD) skilling programs, gig workforce solutions, and international placement (notably into Gulf-region construction, oil, and services roles). Service lines are organized as modular product pages: General Staffing, IT Staffing, Leadership Hiring, Diversity Hiring, Zoho On Demand, Recruiter On Demand, Bench Resources, RPO, HRTech, Digitalent (a digital-first RPO targeting Global Capability Centers), HR NXT Services, and GCC setup support.

The firm's technology footprint is built around proprietary and partner-operated platforms rather than a single integrated suite: Gigforce (gig4u.co) for gig/contract workforce matching, IndieTalent (indietalent.2coms.com) for domestic and international job listings, TrainatWork for apprenticeship management under Indian government schemes, and Zoho-based on-demand recruitment workflows. Distribution is field-led: 25+ operation centres across 25+ Indian states with 550+ employees and 3,500+ associates feeding enterprise accounts. The named customer base spans Apollo, Accenture, Flipkart, Bajaj, Genpact, Aegis, Myntra, Kotak, Blue Dart, Asian Paints, Westside, and Deloitte, covering BPO/KPO, retail, IT, logistics, automotive, financial services, and paints/coatings verticals. Six wholly-owned subsidiaries — JobsAcademy, Netram, gig4u, Har Din Job Mela, inditalent, and EduJobs — extend the group into training, gig, job-fair, and international talent discovery.

Revenue mechanics span four streams: (1) placement fees on permanent and executive search mandates, (2) markup on candidate payroll for contract staffing, (3) employer engagement fees for NAPS/NATS/AEDP apprenticeship administration, and (4) managed-services revenue under Digitalent RPO and HTD (training plus deployment fees). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external investment, no public listing, and no parent company. Cumulative outcomes cited include 1,20,000+ apprenticeship contracts, 36,000+ apprentices deployed, 16,000 retail placements, 2,300+ BPO/KPO placements, and 2,000+ IT placements, alongside 60+ corporate awards and 7 national awards.
