Medial

Vahan.ai, a recruitment platform for blue-collar workers, has announced a strategic investment from LemmaTree, an investment firm founded by Temasek. Alongside this transaction, Vahan.ai has also acquired L.earn, the digital learning and upskilling tech platform of GoodWorker, which was backed by LemmaTree. The proceeds will primarily be used to enhance Vahan.ai’s proprietary tech stack, including the development of advanced AI capabilities tailored for large-scale, multilingual recruitment. Based in Bengaluru, the company says that acquiring L.earn adds a powerful skilling layer to its offering. L.earn provides mobile-first, vernacular content tailored for gig and frontline workers in sectors like logistics, manufacturing, and retail. By embedding modular skilling journeys directly into the job-seeking process, Vahan.ai will empower workers to improve employability, access better-paying roles, and build long-term careers. According to market research, India’s blue-collar workforce is set to drive 70% of the country’s new employment growth by 2030. This segment is also experiencing wage increases, with blue-collar jobs growing at a rate of 5.7% annually. Vahan has placed over 1 million workers across more than 920 cities and currently facilitates approximately 40,000 job placements per month for employers such as Zepto, Swiggy, Blinkit, and Zomato. The platform plans to expand support to eight additional Indian languages, enabling deeper access for job seekers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Vahan.ai also aims to enter new high-growth sectors while accelerating its footprint across India and select international markets such as Southeast Asia and the MENA region. Vahan bridges gaps in digital literacy, language barriers, and infrastructure. At its core is a voice-based AI recruiter powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o, capable of conducting human-like conversations with job seekers in English and Hindi over a simple phone call. This AI layer streamlines the hiring journey—from job discovery and application to interview scheduling—overcoming traditional barriers like digital literacy, language, and infrastructure. To date, Vahan has raised $23.7 million from Khosla Ventures and others.
