Hi I amSachin Gupta and he is my co-founder Vivek. We both are graduates of IIT Roorkee and have interned at GSoC, Microsoft, and Amazon. Also I worked at Google before co-founding HackerEarth. Me and Vivek have known each other for quite some time. We spent 4 years of our lives together at college and that one thing that absolutely binds us together is our deep passion for programming and building technology.
So tell me, today where do you go when you want to discover great programmers ? And by discover I mean, say you’re a company looking to hire good programmers, OR you’re an entrepreneur looking for your technical cofounder, or leaving everything else you’re just a passionate developer looking for someone to collaborate with, on your next android app.Where do you go? Is there a platform that serves this need? (pause)
And finally there are programmers out there, who just want to code with their peers and build cool things.
There are a 100,000 IT graduates coming out of colleges each year in India. But what is sad is that not 20% of them are employable. What makes situation even worse is that their distribution is highly fragmented. 50% of employable engineers come from top 30% of the colleges and the remaining 50% come from the rest 70% of institutes. This fragmentation makes the task even tougher for companies to find and assess the right kind of programmers to meet their growing talent needs. The landscape of the tech companies can be divided into 3 segments, the first being the startups, the second being emerging companies like Flipkart and InMobi and the third being the giants like Microsoft and Amazon. Of these three the former two are the most under served sectors.

So is it all talk or are there numbers behind it?Yes, in just about 5 months, we have had over 120,000 unique visitors, with 8000 registered users. These users have been both consuming content and generating content, and most of all writing code. As a result we have had 35,000 code compilations with a total of about 500,000 lines of code. InMobi, Canvera have sponsored the first event, and MyGola will be sponsoring the next. The VP of InMobi was saying he would like to conduct passive hiring events in the coming month.
