Info Edge's Naukri announced broad rollout of its AI-powered recruitment platform. Three products are scaling: AI-Rex (live with 4,000 plus enterprise customers, hiring mandates up 3.7x between Feb and June 2026), Talent Pulse (600 plus paid customers), and PremiumX (1,800 plus enterprise customers). The company invested about 70 crore rupees in AI in FY26 and plans about 150 crore rupees in FY27. Platform hosts 118 million profiles and around 13 million monthly users. Move opens new revenue streams in recruiter productivity, talent intelligence, and premium hiring.
Diversifies revenue beyond job listings into AI products for recruiters and enterprises. Higher near-term AI spending could pressure margins, but supports long-term growth.
