Bengaluru-based CEO, Kartik Mandaville, received over 3,000 resumes in 48 hours for "permanently remote" job postings on his company website.
He expressed shock and wonder at the condition of the current job market and was "blown away" by the number of applications.
The job postings were not promoted on any platform, and the interest in the company was solely from people actively looking for jobs and interested in working for Springworks.
The high number of applications sparked a debate about the state of the job market in India, with some attributing it to high competition, while others believe it's due to a surge in layoffs leading to more people seeking opportunities.
