With a management team from MIT, the IITs and IIMs, Aspiring Minds has enabled leading brands to improve the quality of talent they hire, via its flagship employability assessment product AMCAT. Adapted to meet requirements across sectors, candidates can seek a desired job and get feedback of their areas of strength and weakness with an analysis on their core skills and necessary improvement areas. AMCAT is already the largest employability assessment in the country and has been taken by over one million students in the country.

Himanshu Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, Aspiring Minds, said, “We pioneered a new space in the education-employment segment and have seen robust growth, establishing a pan-India operational presence in a short span of time. Investing substantially in media, we are now geared up to expand and take the AMCAT advantage to every youth of the country.”

“We believe Havas Media with their media skills and cross-sector knowledge, passion for people and understanding of our customer both student and corporate will be the right partners to help achieve our objectives in the marketplace in the long term.”

“The best students today need direction even after their degree in choosing the industry suited to their success and the employer needs his fit. Aspiring Minds has positioned itself strongly in the recruitment space and in getting jobseekers a job on merit. They are very activity focused and research based; and so are we. We look forward to working on this account,” said Anita Nayyar, CEO, Havas Media Group, India & South Asia.

“Education and employment fit is the need of the hour for India. Our mix of media and digital expertise in reaching a younger audience across India will certainly bring in the momentum. The team is smart, young and open to ideas so it will be an interesting association,” added Mohit Joshi, Managing Director, Havas Media.

A Computer Adaptive Test, it adjusts to the candidate's ability, and assesses the student at the right competency level. Several MNCs have tied up with Aspiring Minds to shortlist their prospective employees based on these scores.
