India has become one of the most important markets for global AI SaaS companies. Millions of teams, founders, and fast-growing startups in India adopt AI tools every day. They look for tools that help them ship faster, hire smarter, and operate globally.
CloudHire is one of the companies leading that shift. Today, CloudHire is also one of India’s fastest-growing AI-powered recruitment platforms, connecting job seekers and recruiters seamlessly in one place. It helps businesses hire high-quality talent using AI. Recruiters use CloudHire for pre-screened candidate pools, structured skill-based filtering, and data-driven insights, while job seekers use it to validate skills, improve resumes, and increase visibility. Companies use CloudHire to find, screen, and match candidates with speed and accuracy.
As CloudHire grew, interest from India kept rising. Indian customers were signing up, testing the product, and asking for a simple way to pay locally.
For a US based company, this was the moment that signalled a real opportunity. India was not just another market. It was becoming one of CloudHire’s strongest growth drivers. CloudHire wanted to move fast and meet that demand.
To make that happen, CloudHire needed to adapt to the India way of being. They needed to offer payment methods Indian customers use every day, like UPI. They needed a checkout experience that felt familiar and smooth. They needed to go live fast. And they needed compliance sorted from day one, without setting up an India entity.
This is where the shift happened
CloudHire partnered with Razorpay to make India a market they could enter and scale quickly.
