Singapore-based online job search platform for blue-collared workers Sendhelper has raised around ₹3 crore ($443,000) in a seed funding round led by Asian technology investor Captii Ventures.

The funds raised will be used to expand to other emerging markets like India, expand services in Singapore, and launch its B2B platform Sendjobs.

Founded by IIM Bangalore alumnus Rupam Biswas, Sendhelper provides an online platform to help its customers with household chores like cleaning, cooking, elderly care and laundry.

Talking about expansion plans, Rupam Biswas, Founder and CEO, Sendhelper, said, “We believe similar challenges exists in many developing markets as also in India where we plan to foray,”.

He further added, “Our experience in the B2C services segment led us to discover that there was also a constant challenge for Singapore’s employers to fulfil demand for manpower for non-executive positions.”

Sendjobs, the B2B platform, connecting businesses with job seekers, across industries like retail, hospitality, events, logistics, and security, has already onboarded 500 employers in Singapore, over the past five months.

The platform will utilise artificial intelligence and consumer behaviour insight, to match employers with workers, who are a right fit for each other.

Captii Ventures, the investment arm of Singapore stock exchange-listed Captii Ltd. It invests in the Southeast Asian region, across technology domains. Some of its investments include Indonesia’s fashion m-commerce platform Sale Stock and beauty and wellness platform Bfab.
