Everyone knows naukri.com portal for job. We daily visit this website, but have you ever notice what actual story behind the naukri.com portal?  Just for curiosity read the below interesting blog which can defiantly motivate you to start your own business.

Naukri.com was launched in March 1997 by Sanjeev Bikhchandani  who is also founded two companies - Info Edge and Indmark. As of March 31, 2010 Naukri.com had a database of about 27 million registered job seekers, and over 80,000 live job listing from Commercial Customers.

Since Sanjeev Bikhchandani  was in school, His idea was very clear to start his own business. Hence he decided to do MBA; his dream was to do work with few of companies and take experience and then start his own business. He believes that there are three important key pointers for successful business.

·         New Idea

·         Management

·         Employee

With the help of these three key pointers, one can achieve the dream which you want.

As he decided, he started working at HMM, came to Delhi and within a year-and-a-half he quit the Job.

 In October 1990, Sanjeev were operating from the servant’s quarter which was above the garage at home and rent was paid by his father Rs 800.

When Sanjeev thought about the digitization, he went to one of his friend who was very good in programming and floats his idea. Since Sanjeev didn’t have the money and he gave him a 7% share in the company and started working on the project.

They both went to the Central News Agency and get some 29 newspapers with appointment ads. They built the structure of the database and inserted the jobs information into the database. Now, they were having 1000 jobs into their database. After this, they worked on the verticals and the navigation they want – and he built the Website — “Naukri” — in one week.  

 This is very interesting story of spotting an opportunity and chasing it with guts, risk determination, hard work and bit of luck. Naukri.com is India’s number one job portal at a time when there is a serious scarcity of employable people in just about every sector of business and industry.
