Vahan.ai has launched the Vahan Placement League (VPL) 2026, a nationwide placement competition offering rewards worth more than ₹1 crore to recruitment entrepreneurs known as Vahan Leaders. The company said the initiative aims to help participants scale tech-enabled recruitment businesses while creating more employment opportunities across India. The 10-week competition, running from March 23 to May 31 alongside the IPL season, will see more than 1,000 Vahan Leaders compete across multiple job categories in partnership with over 20 employers. Participants will work to place candidates with firms such as Swiggy, Zepto, Zomato, Blinkit, and Amazon.
The company said this year’s rewards include vehicles such as the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Nexon, Tata Punch, Harley-Davidson X440 and BMW G310 RR, along with paid international vacations. According to the company, several top-performing Vahan Leaders are already earning between ₹7 lakh and ₹15 lakh monthly through the platform. Founder and CEO Madhav Krishna said the initiative is designed to unlock entrepreneurial potential by helping individuals build high-growth recruitment businesses while addressing India’s employment challenges.
Last year’s competition rewarded top performers with vehicles including the Maruti Grand Vitara, Mahindra Thar and Tata Nexon during regional events held in cities such as Bhopal, Jaipur and Hyderabad.
