Transforming placement cells into strategic talent partner, Varun Modgill, MD & CTO Cognavi India

New Delhi [India], June 30: We do not believe in bypassing placement cells; we believe in transforming them into strategic talent partners for industry. Cognavi India has established partnerships with 72 universities and institutions, giving us access to a talent ecosystem of more than 450,000 engineering and STEM students. Our objective is to scale this network beyond 200 institutions over the next few years said Varun Modgill, MD & CTO of Cognavi India 

Cognavi platform enables universities to digitize student profiles, assess technical and behavioral competencies, conduct AI-enabled interviews, and connect students directly with employers. For placement teams, this creates greater visibility into student readiness and employer demand. For employers, it provides access to a structured pipeline of pre-evaluated talent.

Cognavi’s approach is fundamentally different. We focus on understanding the individual behind the resume.

The cost of a poor hiring decision is far greater than most organizations realize.When a company hires a graduate who leaves within six months, the organization loses recruitment costs, onboarding investments, training resources, and valuable management time. In manufacturing environments, it can also affect productivity, quality, and team stability.
