Over 1000 job seekers connected with potential employers in just a month – a remarkable achievement by a WhatsApp Chatbot built for Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation’s (TNSDC) and administered by Gupshup. Launched just two months ago, the chatbot attracts over hundreds of jobseekers exploring job opportunities.
Innocent Divya, Managing Director at TNSDC said “In continuation with TNSDC’s Naan Mudhalvan’s successful path, this new program named Ilayathalam is being initiated for the youth of Tamil Nadu seeking employment and skill development through Ilaya Chatbot powered with artificial intelligence” at the launch of Ilaya – Chatbot.
“The idea of a WhatsApp chatbot was born with an intent to connect technically skilled and unskilled individuals in the state looking for job opportunities that may not be advertised on traditional platforms. TNSDC’s aim was to establish a system that is easily accessible and user-friendly, allowing for efficient communication between job seekers and placement partners across the state. It is also a first of this kind initiative in India by a state government” said Sai Reddy, Chief Mentor & Director, TNASDC-BFSI.
