Preplaced

Preplaced began its journey in 2019, founded by Keshav Patil, Sahil Maniar, Rohan Rajiv Jaiswal, and Abhimanyu Zala, with a clear mission: to provide long-term, one-on-one career mentorship. What started as an idea to bridge the gap between aspiring professionals and experienced industry experts has evolved into a comprehensive platform dedicated to helping individuals achieve their career goals. The founders recognized that while many people are willing to put in the effort to advance their careers, they often lack quality guidance and a clear path forward. The internet, with its overload of information, can often lead to confusion and inefficient career planning. Preplaced aimed to solve this by connecting candidates with personal mentors from their dream companies.

The core of Preplaced's offering is personalized mentorship. Mentors, who are verified professionals from leading companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, work closely with mentees to create customized roadmaps tailored to their specific skills, situations, and target roles. This includes live sessions, ongoing communication, curated resources, mock interviews, and even job referrals in some cases. The platform emphasizes a holistic approach to career development, going beyond just interview preparation to foster overall growth and confidence. Preplaced believes that interaction with experienced mentors has a significant impact on a candidate's preparation, eliminating the 'lack of guidance' problem and providing clarity on what, why, and how to prepare for an interview. Over the years, Preplaced has cultivated a community of over 600 mentors and has helped numerous individuals crack interviews and land jobs in their desired fields, including software engineering, data science, product management, and digital marketing. The company has seen significant growth, evidenced by a substantial increase in its employee count, and continues to expand its reach, helping people navigate the ever-changing tech industry and achieve their professional aspirations.
