    Founder of digital agency Magnon and former CEO of TBWA India Group, Vineet Bajpai has announced his new venture called talentrack, a hiring platform for all genres of media, entertainment, creative and art talent. It is a mobile + web model and has been funded by Unigrowth, a Canada-based early-stage investment fund.

     

    Speaking at the launch, Bajpai said, “India is the largest film industry and the third largest television industry in the world. It has a vibrant music sector, art &publishing industries and many more creative domains that are purely talent-driven. And yet, in such a vast and growing talent-dependent market – there is no online talent aggregator. This is a huge gap and a huge opportunity. talentrack envisions to fill this gap.”

     

    According to a communique, talentrack won the ‘Best Talent Platform for Media & Entertainment Award’ at the 8th Global Film Festival held at the Noida Film City on November 18-20 2015.
