“Tech Japan Hub”
a one stop platform for IT students in India
With growing demand for excellent IT and digital human resources, Japanese companies feel the need to connect with the talents from India more efficiently and efficiently
Companies all over the world are accelerating the efforts for DX in order to respond to drastic environmental changes; utilize data and digital technologies, and transform their products, services, and business models based on the needs of customers and society. Under such circumstances, Japanese companies have been recruiting more and more in India as they concluded a digital partnership in 2018 with India, home to the excellent IT and digital human resources in the world. However, many Japanese companies have voiced their concerns about recruitment in India. Therefore, Tech Japan conducted a survey on highly skilled human resources in India. In collaboration with JETRO since 2020, Tech Japan has also conducted a survey in Tokyo sponsored by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). In order to accelerate the recruitment of Japanese companies to India, Tech Japan has been organizing the "Working Group on Recruitment from India by Japanese Companies" with the cooperation of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Embassy of India in Tokyo to identify issues, brainstorm solutions and create a platform for discussions. Based on the research and requests from Japanese companies and Indian universities, we have developed the online platform to solve the problems and to accelerate the recruitment process. The online platform enables Japanese companies to efficiently and effectively discover and recruit students from Indian universities through internships.Survey of Indian Highly Skilled Human Resources in Japanhttps://www.meti.go.jp/press/2021/03/20220301001/20220301001-2.pdf
What is the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT),
alma mater of numerous IT leaders all over the world?
Established by the Indian government to train highly intellectual scientists and engineers
23 campuses in India
- 0.5%
Every year, more than 2 million people take the exam, but only about 10,000 are enrolled.
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) was established by the Indian government to train the world's best science students. Since establishment of its first campus in 1951, 23 campuses have been built to this day. The Indian Institute of Technology is also known as one of the world's most difficult institute to get into. Several alumni are now leading numerous companies as CEO, CTO all over the world, making IIT and India an extremely talented pool of human resources for the IT industry.
Severe competition with Major Overseas Companies, Unique Recruitment Rules of Universities, Japanese companies face a number of obstacles in their recruitment activities.
The universities have their own unique rules when it comes to recruiting students. Companies are allotted a date and a slot to interview the students based on their brand, past record and student consensus. It is very difficult to get and keep the best dates as companies including the global giants such as GAFA are competing for the same dates. Furthermore, it is difficult to evaluate candidates within a limited time and to make an offer on the same day of the interview. There have been past cases when the company has traveled to India for a recruitment interview, but the interviews did not lead to any desired results.
Tech Japan Hub allows companies to recruit interns and form a group of highly qualified students. The platform's unified format makes it easier to approach multiple universities at once. It allows the companies and students to deepen mutual understanding through the internship program. At the end of the internship, students who have performed well become eligible for an offer of full time employment.
In 2018, he published "India Shift" (PHP Research Institute), which describes the world-leading Indian IT industry and the new wave of innovation.
He was a Visiting Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad in 2018, and has been an Associate Professor there since 2019 (current position). His main research interests include Internet and Blockchain.
After launching an Internet venture company, he joined Recruit Executive Agent in 2012, where he worked with IT, Internet service, and start-up companies, winning MVP awards in the past as a high achiever. He has been involved in supporting the appointment of many management executives to date.
While recruiting interns from the IITs, we did not know which of the 23 campuses had the most students with the skills and strengths we were looking for, or where to contact them. Also, we did not have the knowledge or experience to communicate with each university and proceed with the process, and although we were interested in the idea, there were several roadblocks. Now we can recruit interns easily, even if we don't have the know-how in-house. We plan to use this system more extensively in the future as well.
I had been thinking about doing an internship or working at a Japanese company, but was having trouble finding a system that would help me understand which companies were recruiting. I think this platform will greatly expand my job opportunities in Japan.
We had to fill out dozens of application forms for each university in order to conduct the internship. In addition, the information of students who applied for the program was shared by email, making the management and selection process difficult. With the digital platform, we were able to implement the program in one-tenth the time.
I think this platform is a good opportunity to learn more about the technologies and businesses of Japanese companies. I would be happy if this opportunity can be used to further convey the appeal of Japan to Indian students.
