What 157 Careers does

157 Industries Business Ventures Pvt Ltd, operating commercially as 157 Careers, is a Pune-headquartered Indian recruitment consultancy and IT services firm founded in June 2018 by Ajinkya Bandamantri and Ashok Murdikar. The company operates a dual-vertical model: recruitment and staffing services (contract staffing, executive search, leadership hiring, niche/lateral hiring, HR training and certifications) delivered through a 650+ employee workforce across six Indian metro cities (Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Noida), and IT/ITES services (custom software development, iOS/Android/cross-platform app development, IaaS/PaaS/SaaS cloud services, IT security, and data recovery) supplemented by BPO/KPO and digital BPM engagements for global enterprises. Its technology stack includes four in-house proprietary products — HRMS (workforce automation), ATS (applicant tracking), BMS (inventory management), and SmartConsult (telemedicine) — alongside conventional cloud, security, and software delivery capabilities.

The business operates a sales-led GTM model with quote-based, transaction-fee and managed-service pricing, generating revenue from successful candidate placements, contract staffing arrangements, professional services engagements, and recurring managed BPM/BPO contracts. Customer concentration is anchored in BFSI (IndusInd Bank, IDFC First Bank, Fedbank Financial Services), with secondary exposure to healthcare, telecom, retail/e-commerce, and hospitality/media sectors. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certifications alongside MSME and NSIC registrations. Ownership is founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or patents; the company's AI/ML positioning is aspirational rather than operationally differentiated at this stage.
