Singapore-based jobs search platform founded by IIM-grad raises $500,000 in seed funding

NEW DELHI: Sendhelper, a Singapore-based online jobs search platform for blue-collared workers with plans to foray into India, has raised around $500,000 in seed funding from Asian technology investor Captii ventures.

The company founded by IIM Bengaluru alumnus, Rupam Biswas, also has an e-commerce platform dedicated to providing household services such as cleaning, cooking and laundry in Singapore but plans to use the funds raised to expand its online jobs search business.

“Our experience in the B2C services segment led us to discover that there was also a constant challenge for Singapore’s employers to fulfil demand for manpower for non-executive positions”, Biswas said.


“We believe similar challenges exists in many developing markets as also in India where we plan to foray”, he said.

Sendjobs, the jobs search business of Sendhelper, has already on-boarded 500 employers in Singapore in the past five months, according to Biswas.

Captii ventures is the venture capital investing arm of Singapore stock exchange-listed Captii Ltd. Its portfolio of investments includes Indonesia-based mobile commerce companies and online payment platforms.

Biswas was a former investment manager at India’s IDFC group prior to founding Sendhelper.
