Case Study: 2000+ ITI Students from Dharwad, Karnataka Build Their Resumes by Talking to the Dialflo AI Bot.

September 15, 2025

ONEST Vision

India is home to over 600 million young people. The challenge? Most of their aspirations and skills remain invisible in the digital economy. ONEST’s vision is simple yet transformative:

Make every worker digitally discoverable, trusted, and employable within 24 hours.

By creating “blue dots” (digital profiles) and linking them with verified credentials, ONEST aims to become for employment what Aadhaar became for identity and UPI for payments.

Candidate Problem

80% of India’s workers, especially blue and grey-collar, don’t have digital resumes.
Job opportunities are scattered across wall posters, WhatsApp groups, and word of mouth.
Candidates waste months applying, often facing rejection due to language or geography.
Result: Workers settle for jobs far from their aspirations.

Employer Problem

Employers spend over ₹1,000 per candidate just on sourcing and verification.
Hiring blue-collar talent takes 2+ weeks.
Local opportunities remain undiscovered while verified candidates remain invisible.
Result: High cost, high noise, and slow hiring.

Problems with Existing Solutions:

Lack of digital resumes for 80% of workers.

With Dialflo Voice AI:

Workers build resumes simply by speaking in their local language.

Employer Side

Problems with Existing Solutions:

₹1,000+ per candidate spent on sourcing and verification.

Employers access pre-verified profiles in hours, not weeks.
Hiring costs drop by up to 90%.
AI-driven matching ensures local, trusted talent discovery.

In short: Recruitment today is slow, costly, and fragmented. Dialflo Voice AI makes it fast, affordable, and inclusive.

Impact So Far

200M Workers ONEST is on a mission to be the long-term partner for 200 million workers across India, helping them build skills and find jobs faster. Dialflo is powering this journey with Voice AI in 20+ Indian languages like Marathi, Odia, Assamese, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. From building resumes over a simple phone call to capturing job requirements and running skill assessments, the goal is simple: to make sure no worker, no matter where they come from, is left behind in the digital economy.

2000+ Student Resumes in Dharwad, Karnataka The pilot that started on March 25 has already changed the lives of more than 2000 ITI students in Dharwad. For the first time, they built their resumes just by speaking, without typing a single word. When Abhishek visited Dharwad in July 2025, he saw the students’ joy firsthand. Many of them had never even heard of ChatGPT, yet here they were, holding their very first digital resumes. The pride and smiles on their faces said it all: technology had given them a new sense of possibility.
600+ Job Postings from Employers Most SMEs in the region still rely on posters, banners, and word of mouth to find talent. To solve this, we introduced an AI-powered employer assistant that lets businesses register job requirements simply by speaking in their own language. The response was overwhelming. Within just a few weeks, we received over 600 job postings across three districts, proving that employers too are eager for a simpler, faster way to connect with local talent.
20+ ITI Colleges Across 5 Districts What began as a small campaign with a handful of principals and placement coordinators quickly turned into a movement. Students from more than 20 ITI colleges across five districts joined in to build their resumes through Dialflo’s voice AI. Word spread fast, and soon students were trying it out even from places we hadn’t officially launched in.
20+ Students Already Placed The most rewarding part has been seeing students land jobs soon after building their resumes. In just a couple of weeks, more than 20+ students secured placements. For many, it was the first time they had access to opportunities that matched their skills and location preferences. It is a glimpse into the future we are building, where every skilled worker can find the right job within 24 hours.

By scaling open networks, portable credentials, and AI-driven discovery, ONEST is setting the stage for India to unlock its demographic dividend.

ONEST is not building another platform; it is building the public digital infrastructure for jobs and skilling.

Conclusion

The ONEST and Dialflo collaboration has already demonstrated how technology can bridge critical gaps in India’s employment ecosystem. By giving workers the ability to create verified digital resumes through simple voice conversations and enabling employers to discover local, trusted talent instantly, this initiative is reshaping the future of recruitment.

What started with 2000+ ITI students in Dharwad is only the beginning. With scale, every blue-collar worker in India will be digitally discoverable, employable, and placed in the right job within 24 hours. This is not just an employment revolution, it is a movement to unlock dignity, opportunity, and prosperity for millions of families across the nation.
