There is a hiring spree in India's artificial intelligence startups such as Krutrim, Sarvam AI, TurboML, Smallest.ai and Socket Labs. These startups are offering salaries between Rs 40 lakh and Rs 1.5 crore annually with stock options and flexible work arrangements for AI engineers from freshers to mid-career. This decision of the companies makes it clear how AI is gradually spreading its wings in the market. AI demand is now increasing in every sector.

Increasing demand for AI technology

TurboML is hiring engineers and researchers. It is giving them Rs 1 lakh monthly internship stipend and Rs 80 lakh annually full-time. The founder of Smallest.ai is offering an annual salary of Rs 40 lakh for full-stack engineers with 0-2 years of experience. In which he has not demanded college or any resume.

Amid the growing popularity of DeepSeek, hiring tech firm Fabric has created a database of over 1,000 AI/ML engineers to showcase India's power in high-quality AI talent.

Knowledge matters for companies.

These days, Smallest AI's hiring method is going viral on social media. The company has kept the regular system different from the resume system to apply for jobs. People will not have to send resumes. They will have to write their introduction in 100 words and send it. Apart from this, they will also have to share the link to their best work. A school-college degree does not matter for the company.

Smart work culture from AI

The experience of candidates of AI companies is important not only for updating the resume. Rather they should know how to handle work in tough situations. They should be able to experiment with new things. More work can be done in less time. Smart work culture should be adopted instead of the old work culture.
