Yahoo’s loss is gain for startups
A number of Indian technology startups lost no time in wooing Yahoo engineers being laid off. Several of them went on social media with job pitches.
- Deepinder Goyal, co-founder of restaurant search engine Zomato, had this tweet: "Yeah Who? Zomato is hiring across all tech positions."
- Rishi Khiani, CEO of innovation sandbox Ant Farm, tweeted, "Hiring developers for AntFarm.in, we have over 100 open positions. So please pass this on to any Dev's over at Yahoo that just got slipped."
- Ankur Agarwal, co-founder of PriceBaba, had this blog post: "Dear Engineer, I am sad to see that Yahoo is leaving so many talented engineers in India (from what I hear) in a bid to consolidate its development efforts. Like any other growing tech startup, my instincts reacted in the same way as it did for a lot of my friends on Twitter. Can we get some good engineers to join PriceBaba?"
- Vijay Rayapati ?, CEO at Minjar Cloud Solutions, tweeted, "Impacted by @yahoo India layoff? @minjarcloud is hiring engineers for product engg roles. Drop a note to careers at http://minjar.com."
Others suggested a different opportunity for Yahoo engineers. Maruti Borker, co-founder of Vauntz.com and hurricaneviz.com, tweeted: "Hope some startups come out of the Yahoo! India layoff :P 6-10 months salary is a nice seed fund."
The short message for Yahoo engineers: There are plenty of jobs available within Indian startups. Many are starved of talent.
