We are building the trust layer. Pre-vetted engineers whose real work speaks for itself.
Skip the resume flood. Hire with conviction.
The Problem
Resumes are self-declared.
Interviews are repetitive.
Coding tests measure narrow skills.
Hiring today means:
Reviewing hundreds of low-signal resumes
Repeating the same screening rounds
Still being unsure about the final hire
Companies don't need more candidates. They need conviction.
— Aikiyam
What We Are Building
Real work. Verified. Trusted.
We evaluate candidates based on real work — what they've actually built, the problems they solved, the decisions they made, the depth of their execution and how they think.
Companies receive a curated shortlist of 3 to 5 deeply evaluated candidates. Not a resume stack. A signal they can trust.
We don't give scores. We give conviction.
Current Progress
We are currently working with a small set of companies to run pilot hiring cycles.
If you're hiring engineers and want better signal, we'll work closely with you to close your next role.
This is where we start. Where we go from here is bigger.
We are early. But we are seeing something real.
Join us at the beginning.
About Aikiyam
We have seen both sides of the hiring problem.
Aikiyam is headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. We are a team that has experienced hiring from both sides — as engineers who have been through the process, and as leaders who have built teams.
We are building the intelligence to make hiring decisions faster and more reliable. Not through more technology layered on a broken process — but by fixing the signal at the source.
If the work resonates, talk to us.

The Team
Built from lived experience, not theory.
We have hired, assessed, and built engineering teams for over two decades. Aikiyam is not a solution we imagined — it is a problem we refused to accept any longer.
Prathap Narayanan
Co-Founder & CEO
20+ years of engineering leadership, including scaling an India R&D Center from 0 to 1.
Personally hired and assessed over 200 engineers. Built hiring frameworks from scratch. Seen the resume flood, the screening fatigue, and the signal problem from both sides of the table — as a candidate and as the person making the call.
Aikiyam is the platform he wished existed every time he sat across a great engineer who could not prove it on paper.
