Our Story
Talent is everywhere.Opportunity isn't.
Every year, millions of graduates step out of colleges in India's tier 2 cities. They're hardworking and academically strong, yet only about 45% are considered employable.
The gap isn't intelligence. It's the skills that interviews and workplaces demand: confident communication, clear presentation, and a corporate-ready mindset. Without them, talented candidates lose out on roles with service-based companies in India and across the world.
We started Softiq to close that gap.
Our flagship Interview Readiness Program (IRP) gives graduates the practice, feedback, and confidence to walk into any interview prepared, and walk out with an offer.
Founder
Abhijeet Deshpande
Founder, Softiq
An HR turned entrepreneur who builds learning solutions that connect people to real careers.
He holds an engineering degree and a postgraduate qualification in Human Resources from Welingkar Institute, Bangalore. Over four years at Infosys and Amazon, he worked in Talent Acquisition and as an HR Business Partner. Hiring people on one side and supporting business teams on the other, he saw first-hand what employers look for, how talent is developed, and where the gap between education and employability begins.
That experience led him to entrepreneurship. Through Softiq, he is working to make learning more practical, accessible, and tied to real job outcomes in the ed-tech space.

%
