Tech Mahindra Ltd, India’s fifth largest software services exporter, launched its Saral Rozgar cards in Kolkata on Tuesday. The cards allow users to access Tech Mahindra’s job marketplace service of the same name, which uses mobile phones. The company also identified 4,000 jobs in Kolkata and its neighbourhood that candidates can apply for using these cards. The Saral Rozgar job marketplace helps blue collar and entry-level job seekers connect with employers anywhere in India through mobile phones in their own language. They can buy the Saral Rozgar card for Rs.50 and register by calling a special Saral Rozgar helpline, using their preferred language. The cards are valid for 60 days. “In the past two years, we have registered close to two million subscribers, spread across 800 locations in India, and have successfully engaged more than 50,000 job seekers with prospective employers. We have placed more than one lakh Saral Rozgar cards at more than 6,000 mobile recharge and ‘kirana’ outlets in Kolkata and the surrounding districts. Our aim is to reduce the socio-economic gap by ensuring that job seekers get ample job opportunities,” said Jagdish Mitra, head, mobility business and large deals, Tech Mahindra.
