Bengaluru/Kolkata: Startups that graduated to being unicorns in 2020 are on the prowl to ramp up headcounts across product, tech, engineering, sales, operations, and data sciences teams in 2021.
These companies that reached $1 billion in valuation last year are scaling up teams by 10-100% to drive market expansion and invest in product development. Salaries at these startup jobs range from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 60 lakh per annum, going up to a crore-plus at the senior leade ..
Six of these startup unicorns—Pine Labs, Zenoti, Postman, Razorpay, Cars24, and Glance—told ET they will hire about 2,000-2,500 employees in the coming months. The others like Unacademy, FirstCry, Nykaa and Zerodha declined to offer comment for this story.
Razorpay will hire 500-odd employees over the next year, said Anuradha Bharat, vice-president of people operations at the fintech firm. A majority of the hiring will be for the engineering and product teams to bolster new solutions as the company aims to build new payment and banking solutions for SMB (small and mid-size business) merchants. “We are also looking to hire for our sales and operations teams, customer experience team, and the finance team,” Bharat told ET.
