The Problem
"I spent 3 weeks on Upwork, hired 2 people, both disappeared mid-project. Lost ₹80,000 and 2 months."
— Seed-stage founder, Bengaluru
😤
Generic platforms are broken for AI
Upwork has 10,000+ "AI experts" with zero quality filter. You can't tell great from fake without wasting weeks.
💸
Bad hires cost lakhs, not thousands
Average Indian startup loses ₹2–5L per bad AI hire. Money and months you simply don't have.
🌍
No India context on global platforms
A developer in Eastern Europe cannot build your Hindi NLP model. India context is a real competitive advantage.

The Vetting Framework

4 layers. Zero shortcuts.

Anyone can fake a portfolio. No one can fake our 4-layer vetting process. This is why our experts are genuinely different.

01
⌨️Layer 1 — Automated
Can they code?

Live technical assessment with real AI problems under real conditions. No open-book. No shortcuts. Only qualified engineers pass.

02
🧠Layer 2 — Human Review
Can they think?

Our team evaluates problem-solving, communication, and how they approach messy real-world AI use cases. Credentials mean nothing without thinking.

03
✅Layer 3 — Community
Can they deliver?

Past client references, delivery track record, and community reputation. We call references. We verify outcomes — not just portfolios.

04
🇮🇳Layer 4 — India Context
Do they fit India?

Indian languages, regulations, user behaviour, and startup culture. We filter for experts who truly understand the Indian market.

The Founder
"I'm not a developer. I'm just a founder who got frustrated enough to build the solution."

I have zero technical background — no ML degree, no coding experience, no IIT tag.

But I kept hitting the same wall: finding trusted AI talent in India is completely broken. Founders lose lakhs on bad hires. Great AI experts are invisible on generic platforms.

So I started talking to people. 20+ calls with founders and AI experts across India confirmed the problem on both sides. Now I'm building the fix — openly, from Day 1.

What People Are Saying

Early reactions from real people

Founders and AI experts who've already engaged with VettedAI.

"

You are solving an absolutely relevant problem. There is severe scarcity of GenAI talent — and Upwork is filled with loots.

The real gap is not capability — it's contextual understanding. AI freelancers understand tools but not business problems.

Milestone based payments — you only pay when work is delivered. Never pay upfront. Ever.

The positioning is well drafted. Startups under 500 employees need exactly this — fast, focused, no fluff.

Trust comes from work done, testimony, and transparency — not just a profile on a platform.

At early stage we needed help but couldn't find people with the right mindset — not just the right skills.
