BetterPlace serves as the only frontline workforce platform for India and Southeast Asia. The company provides software for hiring, onboarding, verifying, upskilling, time and attendance, manpower vendor and compliance, and software and performance management. Their platform also provides staffing and payroll services and financial access like loans, earned wage access, and insurance. Most frontline job seekers require vernacular training and 90% of 1.4B Indians need non-English training, which creates difficulty given that India has 1,600+ mother tongues and 22 official languages. This platform provides a solution to this problem, because their skillBetter software translates onboarding and training modules into 15 different languages. BetterPlace thus increases employment for non-English speakers in India, which is especially important given that non-English rural areas are experiencing 23.2% unemployment and the national youth unemployment rate is 17.3%. In one year, BetterPlace has on-boarded 2.2 million people. Their impact can also be exemplified by the company’s partnership with Reliance Industries, which enabled the onboarding of 350K people in 5 months and a 65% increase in women hired. Other BetterPlace customers include Amazon, Accenture, Dell, Bisleri, Honda, and others.
