Its purpose-built platform is revolutionizing the trillion-dollar logistics industry by infusing modern design principles with data science and statistical modelling. In 2015, the company’s CTO and Co-founder, Sai Nagboth set upon establishing Turvo India, the R&D arm of Turvo Inc, in Hyderabad.

The challenges for a company launching in India are many – they need to navigate a complex regulatory environment, secure legal clearances, set up a new campus, and much more. But the biggest challenge is almost always in attracting top talent, particularly when their talent brand is yet to take off.
As with several international companies setting up engineering centres in India, Turvo needed a talent partner who could help them understand the country's talent landscape, and offer a solution that would help them target and engage the best people.
Data - driven approach to finding the right people
Sai had a clear vision for his team in Hyderabad. He wanted people who were fast-learners, could hit the ground running and were results-driven; a team he could trust to operate with little oversight. He wanted top engineering talent from market-leading, global product companies. But top talent wasn’t on job boards, actively looking for new opportunities. This meant traditional inbound solutions weren’t going to cut it.
Which is why Belong’s proactive outbound approach to recruitment made perfect sense for Turvo. Belong’s Curation Engine analyzed talent data from hundreds of professional and developer-oriented networks and forums across the Internet, thus vastly expanding the engineering talent pool Turvo could tap into.
