E-commerce platform Zepto, which recently achieved unicorn status, has risen to become the top choice for professionals seeking an ideal workplace in India, as per a ranking by a leading recruitment platform.
Startups that followed the e-grocery app in the ranking include BluSmart, an EV cab aggregator; Ditto Insurance, a fintech company; Pocket FM, an audio OTT platform; and Skyroot Aerospace, respectively.
On Wednesday, LinkedIn unveiled its annual ‘Top 20 Indian Startups List,’ which ranks emerging companies that professionals aspire to work for. This ranking is derived from LinkedIn’s data, which encompasses nearly 10 million members on the hiring platform.
Zepto has made a remarkable ascent, moving up three places from its previous rank at number 4 to claim the top spot as the startup with the highest employee growth, jobseeker interest, member engagement within the company and among its employees, and the ability to attract talent from LinkedIn’s Top Companies list.
“It’s truly remarkable that 14 of the 20 startups featured on this year’s list are new entrants, underscoring the immense potential and astonishing pace of innovation in India’s startup space.
“These startups are looking to hire talent right now. So it’s a great opportunity to be part of the growth story of India’s vibrant startup ecosystem,” LinkedIn India Head of Editorial Nirajita Banerjee said.
