"Happiness is about doing what you love, if you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
Driven by the in-born instinct of being one’s own boss, Anuj Agrawal started Zyoin in 2005, barely after a year of starting his first job at a recruitment firm. An NITK Surathkal Alumnus, Anuj is a keen observer who quickly found the holes in the traditionally followed recruitment process and came up with Zyoin.
Zyoin is a recruitment solution provider, which unlike Naukri & Monster, provides end to end recruitment services for their customers thus saving both time and money for them. Led under tactful guidance of Anuj, Zyoin today continues to grow, whether we talk about numbers or the areas served.

Well, we have always been a Company which has believed in growing organically hence we have not had a need to chase the investors.
