AI hiring startup Hunar.AI raises Rs 39.3 crore in funding led by Blume Ventures

Bengaluru-based conversational AI startup Hunar.AI has raised Rs 39.3 crore in a Series A funding round led by Blume Ventures, as it looks to expand its technology for hiring and managing frontline workers.

The round also saw participation from Seedstars, Hyderabad Angels Fund, AVNM Ventures and PhysicsWallah co-founders Alakh Pandey and Prateek Maheshwari, according to reports citing regulatory filings.

Blume Ventures invested Rs 29 crore, while Seedstars and Hyderabad Angels Fund contributed Rs 3.31 crore and Rs 3 crore respectively.

The startup plans to use the funding to strengthen its AI infrastructure, develop its products and expand its operations.

Founded by Krishna Khandelwal and Shantanu Bhattacharyya, Hunar.AI develops conversational AI agents to automate recruitment, onboarding, training and workforce engagement.

Its platform is designed for businesses employing large numbers of frontline workers across different locations, particularly in sectors such as quick commerce, logistics, retail, mobility and financial services.

The technology helps automate tasks including candidate screening, interview scheduling and follow-ups, while supporting communication in regional languages.

Hunar.AI said its platform enables companies to manage these interactions at scale without relying entirely on manual recruitment processes. Its customers include companies such as Croma and Tata 1mg.

Krishna Khandelwal, co-founder and CEO of Hunar.AI, described frontline workforce management as an underserved area of enterprise AI.

“Frontline workforce management is one of the largest yet most underserved opportunities in enterprise AI,” he said.

He added that addressing the sector's challenges required specialised technology capable of understanding industry workflows, supporting multiple languages and performing tasks reliably at scale.
