Utkrusht AI raises first funding round to finally solve the age-old problem of Tech Hiring
Summary
Vadodara-based startup Utkrusht AI raised a seed funding round to scale its 'watch-them-work' technical hiring assessment platform. The product gives candidates 30–45 minute real on-the-job tasks in live production-like environments, records their sessions, and captures how they use AI and other tools to evaluate technical execution, problem-solving, and judgment. The company has assessed over 10,000 candidates, reports about a 70% reduction in time-to-hire with hires often made within 14 days, and covers 300+ technical skills. The funding will expand the assessment library and improve the product, and Utkrusht is offering a free trial for engineering teams now.
