Spotle.ai is conceived by the husband-wife duo, Jyotirmay Kanthal and Rimjhim Ray, who let go of their well-settled, comfortable lives in the UK and turned entrepreneurs with a dream. Rimjhim dropped out of her MBA at Imperial College London and Jyotirmay is an alumnus of Jadavpur University, Computer Science.

Commenting about the rebranding and the future of the company, he said, “The vision of the company is to become a ‘developed in India, respected in the world’ company that most effectively enables the career aspirations of the millennial and gen-Z population. As we have sharpened our focus, we also wanted to give our brand a sharper makeover. Spotle.ai, is more relatable and easy to remember. We aim to make Spotle.ai the natural choice for the millennials and the Gen-Zs, whenever there’s a need for meeting their career aspirations.”

Rimjhim who leads product and marketing thinks that “the ambitious next-gen deserves a career platform that like them is agile, mobile and dynamic. Traditional ways of networking or job search do not work for a population that juggles careers, changes cities, shifts goals. So we built a contextual, real-time platform that adapts to their ambitions and intuitively matches them with opportunities they deserve.”

Previously known as Frapperz, the company went for a rebranding in mid of June 2018 and changed the name to Spotle.ai. This, the company believes, would make the brand more relevant, relatable and easy to remember for users. As the company says. Spotle.ai is the place that helps your talents get spotted.
