Outspark sparks ahead with 200,000 paid users and Rs 30 Crore ARR
MUMBAI: When it comes to careers, Outspark is lighting a fire under the job market. The AI-powered career-tech platform has raced past 200,000 paid users and clocked an annual recurring revenue of Rs 30 crore, all within months of its debut. Even more dazzling, revenue has grown fourfold in just seven months, making it one of India’s fastest-growing names in career technology.
In an age where resumes battle algorithms before reaching recruiters, Outspark is arming professionals with an AI toolkit that feels more Silicon Valley than CV valley. From auto-polished resumes and studio-grade Linkedin headshots to an AI co-pilot that suggests daily posts and networking prompts, the platform is designed to turn passive profiles into magnets for opportunity.
The numbers are equally bold: more than two million resumes and profiles reviewed, over 300,000 resumes generated, and 20,000 Linkedin makeovers delivered. Half of the company’s revenue now comes from users levelling up to premium services, proving its appeal runs deep.
“Hiring is evolving faster than ever with AI. While companies have powerful tools, job seekers have been left behind,” said Outspark, founder and ceo, Kumar Apoorv. “Outspark bridges that gap by giving professionals the same edge as recruiters.”
With ambitions now stretching beyond India, Outspark is eyeing expansions into the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Future plans include hyper-personalised job alerts, a job search co-pilot to automate applications, and partnerships with global recruiters. The goal? To build the world’s largest AI-first talent pool and make job hunting less of a grind and more of a glide.

Samsung India elevates Aditya Babbar to lead mobile business
Exec takes charge of MX sales and marketing after Raju Pullan’s exit
NEW DELHI: Samsung India has elevated Aditya Babbar to lead its mobile phone business, following the exit of Raju Antony Pullan.
Babbar, who previously served as vice president within the mobile division, has been appointed head of sales and marketing for the MX (mobile experience) business, effective May 1. In his new role, he will oversee the company’s sales and marketing operations for smartphones and related categories in India, reporting to the executive vice president of the MX business.
A long-time Samsung executive, Babbar brings over a decade of experience within the organisation, having held multiple leadership roles across product, marketing and category management. Most recently, he led product marketing and e-commerce for the mobile division, following earlier stints as head of product and marketing and senior director roles.
His career within Samsung Electronics and its India operations has also included responsibilities for flagship devices, tablets and wearables, giving him a broad view of the company’s premium and mass-market portfolio.
Babbar succeeds Pullan, who stepped down from the role, marking a leadership transition at a time when India remains a key battleground for global smartphone makers.
The appointment signals continuity within Samsung’s leadership bench, with an internal candidate stepping up to steer one of its most critical business units in a highly competitive market.
