Callus Company, a South Korean startup focused on connecting young talent to global markets, has launched its flagship SPRINT PROGRAM in India. This innovative program provides Indian students and professionals with internship-based hiring opportunities, aiming to empower them with competitive salaries and career growth in international roles. Callus Company’s entry into the Indian market highlights its commitment to fostering career opportunities for many highly skilled yet underemployed individuals in India.
Callus Company’s move into India is backed by the country’s significant talent base and the company’s strategy to offer secure, permanent positions over short-term contracts. This unique approach not only allows Indian candidates to showcase their skills globally but also supports international companies in accessing a growth-focused, motivated workforce without hefty platform fees.
Ryan Kim, CEO of Callus Company, stated:
India’s expanding pool of skilled young professionals is the perfect destination for us to introduce SPRINT PROGRAM. Our mission is to create an equitable and sustainable platform that opens doors for Indian talent in the global job market, enabling them to build long-term careers with fair compensation.
Callus Company is part of the K-Startup Centre (KSC) 2024 cohort, run by The Circle: Founders Club (FC) in India, part of a global initiative aimed at helping South Korean startups explore opportunities in the Indian market. Supported by the Korea Institute of Startups & Entrepreneurship Development (KISED), this program benefits startups from diverse sectors through mentoring, business connections, networking events, and local market insights to support cross-border innovation.
In line with the University Grants Commission (UGC) policy of October 2023, which mandates that students complete 60-120 internship hours before graduation, Callus Company has tailored the SPRINT PROGRAM to fulfil these requirements. By providing AICTE-compliant internships, the program allows students to meet graduation criteria, gain valuable experience, and improve their employability, even if not hired directly.
The organization aims to build a talent pool of 100,000 candidates by 2026, collaborating with top educational institutions and expanding its reach across India. Partnering with prestigious universities such as SRM University in Chennai, Amity University in Noida, and VTU in Bangalore will ensure a steady flow of high-quality candidates, strengthen its pipeline, and establish a robust recruitment platform. Through these initiatives, the platform aims to redefine the recruitment experience for Indian talent, building a verified, reliable platform that bridges India’s educational institutions and global markets.
Callus Company empowers early-career talent by offering full-time work opportunities with competitive salaries, allowing candidates to establish long-term, sustainable careers. Its mission is to become India’s foremost recruitment platform for international employment, providing a beneficial experience for candidates and companies alike.
