MobiKwik has Hiring Plans

MobiKwik, a fastest growing mobile wallet company with more than 5 million users has announced its hiring plans of increasing its workforce by 54%, from the current strength of 65 to 100 employees, in the near term. MobiKwik is seeking qualified engineers with experience in Java, Python, or Javascript development for its core payments platform and engineers with background in Android, iOS or Windows development for its mobile applications. MobiKwik is also hiring for positions in User Experience Design, Digital Marketing, Product Management, Merchant Sales, Merchant Operations, Consumer Operations, Finance, HR and Administration to both sustain and grow the business.

Started in 2009, MobiKwik has earned a reputation of an exceptional Indian product start-up that provides a distinctive engineering environment. Being a young company, MobiKwik is building a team that approaches work with vigor and passion that is critical to the company’s ability to operate effectively through the changing business scenario.

MobiKwik’s hiring focus does not lay emphasis only on experience. It is looking to hire youngsters and freshers, provided they have the passion to excel. Bipin Preet Singh, Founder & CEO, says he enjoys working with young blood. "Youngsters have a fire in their belly and bring energy to the workplace. MobiKwik's Android app has two million users and is made by a 2012 college pass-out, for example. Experience is not a prerequisite for great achievement."

While the company lays emphasis on hiring youngsters, it is also seeking experienced candidates with 3-8 years of experience but with the same DNA of high energy, passion to excel and an ambition to achieve.

Speaking on the advantages of the start-up culture at MobiKwik, UpasanaTaku, CoFounder, MobiKwik says, “Self-motivated high achievers who want to challenge themselves early in their careers must join product startups such as MobiKwik. Each individual employee receives greater responsibility by virtue of being in a young, driven and agile organization. Given our flat structure, young employees who learn fast grow very quickly with little guidance from one of the founders. Employees who contribute significantly grow into leadership roles very early in their professional careers. We also provide them stock options in the company apart from bonuses and raises”.

To aid its hiring efforts, MobiKwik in addition to advertising for open positions on its website, blog and other social media platforms, also runs contests. The company recently concluded a hiring challenge for Java and Python Developers on HackerEarth, that helps connect smart programmers and great companies through online programming challenges.
