Pune-based sales hiring startup Scooter has raised ₹1.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Aviral Bhatnagar’s AJVC, marking the fund’s first bet on a Pune-based company. Founded in 2024 by Kartik Mandrekar and Saumya Seth, Scooter streamlines sales recruitment by evaluating candidates through real-world scenarios and video assessments rather than standard CVs. The company plans to deploy the capital to enhance its core product and simplify hiring workflows. Scooter currently caters to over 50 clients, has added 14 customers recently, and manages a verified candidate pool exceeding 10,000 sales professionals across India.
