National, India | 23 April, 2025:  Vahan.ai, India’s leading AI-powered recruitment platform for the blue-collar workforce, continues its mission of building entrepreneurship and enabling economic growth in Tier 2/4 cities with the Vahan Leaders Platform (VL Platform). As part of this initiative, the company recently recognised top-performing recruitment partners in Bhopal and Hyderabad, awarding them with high-value rewards, including a Mahindra Thar and a Tata Punch, respectively, in appreciation of their outstanding achievements.

These recognitions come at a time when India’s non-metro cities are becoming central to the country’s employment engine, especially within the gig and logistics sectors. Vahan.ai, through its VL Platform, empowers small and mid-sized recruitment agencies in these regions to place over 40,000 workers every month across leading employers such as Swiggy, Zepto, Zomato, Blinkit, Flipkart, and others.

Commenting on the events, Madhav Krishna, Founder and CEO of Vahan.ai said, “We are witnessing a new wave of grassroots entrepreneurship emerge in Bharat. By enabling recruiters in Tier 2/4 towns with technology, access, and support, we’re not only solving the problem of job creation but also helping build lasting businesses in places that have historically lacked such opportunities.”

In line with its philosophy of engaging, incentivising high performance, and in the spirit of IPL, Vahan.ai has launched the Vahan Premier League (VPL)—a gamified business competition that motivates recruiters on the VL Platform to push their boundaries, unlock higher earnings, and win exciting prizes, including cars. “With VPL, we’re making growth exciting, measurable, and rewarding,” said Madhav Krishna. “It’s a celebration of how far these entrepreneurs can go with the right support and incentives.” 

The Vahan Premier League is designed to drive meaningful employment by facilitating stable, long-term job opportunities for lakhs of job seekers across India. Recruitment agencies that consistently deliver high-quality job opportunities and be able to maximize the number of retained riders, will be eligible for a range of performance-based recognitions. These include top-tier rewards such as brand-new cars and bikes, with three cars and four two-wheelers being awarded to the multiple highest-performing partners.

At its core, Vahan.ai is building ‘tech for good’—using cutting-edge AI to solve systemic employment challenges at scale. By making job discovery simple, localised, and accessible and by empowering a distributed network of recruiters through the VL Platform, Vahan is not just placing workers into jobs—it is creating a sustainable ecosystem of opportunity, dignity, and digital inclusion for India’s emerging workforce.
