For Ravish Agarwal, Siddharth Srivastava, and Swatantra Kumar, the world of edtech, startups, and skilling was nothing new. In fact, Ravish was already running an edtech startup and was also managing the India B2C business for an American education company, Udacity. Siddhartha and Swatantra have collective experience in companies like — Udacity, Placement, Lendingkart, and Yatra. All the exposure to the startup and edtech world meant the trio felt there was a large gap to be addressed. “We were coaching BA, BBA, and BCom graduates for college exams, and that is when we realised that most of the people struggle to get a job. We thought of helping these people to be jobs-ready and started training them for jobs directly. We started by coaching people on the phone first, then we got on to Whatsapp, and finally, after some placements, we launched the Able Jobs app to help students prepare for their jobs,” explains Ravish.
