AVR EDGE Networks Private Limited

Business Overview

• Operates in India as AVR Edge Networks Pvt Ltd
• Publicly branded as "EDGE" / "Getedge" — an AI-powered HR-technology / talent-intelligence provider headquartered in Bengaluru.
• Per its LinkedIn profile, self-reported, founded-year shown as 2012 vs CIN incorporation 2010 — likely brand-launch vs legal-incorporation date difference, EDGE built a proprietary "Smart AI EDGE Graph" trained on ~25 million job descriptions and ~20 million profiles, offering three product lines: EDGE Recruit, skill-based hiring, EDGE Pathfinder, internal talent marketplace/upskilling, and EDGE Mobility, internal talent mobility.
• Recognitions cited: Deloitte Technology Fast50 India (#25), NASSCOM Emerge50, UK India Emerging20 (IE20), and DPIIT-recognised startup status, per Falconebiz/TheCompanyCheck.
• IMPORTANT UNRESOLVED FLAG: the brand's historical domain getedge.ai currently 302-redirects to phenom.com, a large US HR-tech/Applied-AI company.
• This could indicate an acquisition/asset sale to Phenom, but I could not find a corroborating press release, news article, or mention on Phenom's own site confirming this — and the Indian entity's MCA-linked registry data, last AGM Nov 2024, ~79 EPFO-linked employees, ₹22.43 Cr FY24 revenue per TheCompanyCheck, shows it was still actively operating/filing as of FY2024.
• Treat the Phenom connection as an unconfirmed signal, not a fact, until a primary source is found.

GST Registrations

Not obtained. Primary GSTIN could not be retrieved — TheCompanyCheck/Falconebiz-style detail pages had GST data locked behind a paywall; findgst.in PAN-based lookup returned a server error; knowyourgst/mastersindia individual-GSTIN pages require a known GSTIN to look up (none in hand). PAN on file: AAICA6686M (single-source, Tofler). Home state inferred as Karnataka from registered address, not confirmed via an actual GSTIN record.

Financials

• Standalone, per MCA filings referenced by aggregators, not consolidated — no subsidiaries reported:
• FY2024, year ended 31 Mar 2024: Revenue ≈ ₹22.43 crore, down ~7% YoY, Source: TheCompanyCheck. EBITDA and PAT for FY24 were paywalled/"locked" — not obtained.
• FY2022, year ended 31 Mar 2022: Tofler (free-tier) showed only YoY-change percentages, not absolute figures — Revenue -4.81% YoY, EBITDA -247.92% YoY, implies operating loss, Net worth -61.43% YoY, Borrowings +39.6% YoY.

• Last AGM: 4 November 2024; Balance sheet date: 31 March 2024, Source: Falconebiz.
• No net worth, PAT, or EBITDA absolute values could be obtained from free-tier sources.

Funding History

• No confirmed equity funding round could be found, Tracxn/press-search attempts did not surface a funding-round announcement within available sources.
• The company does carry debt/venture-debt-style charges from Caspian Impact Investments Private Limited, an impact-investing NBFC, — ₹1.0 Cr, created 18 Aug 2020, and ₹2.0 Cr, created 18 Mar 2021, — see Charges below
• This is debt, not an equity round, so it is reported under Charges rather than as a funding round.
• DPIIT "Recognised Startup" status noted, Source: Falconebiz.
• The getedge.ai → phenom.com domain redirect, see Business Overview, is a possible but unconfirmed acquisition/strategic-deal signal — no funding/M&A press source could be located to confirm or deny it.

Shareholding

• Not obtained. Only aggregate capital figures are public, Authorized ≈₹10.2 Cr, Paid-up ≈₹9.7 Cr
• Individual shareholder names/percentages are paywalled on Tofler, "GET PRO" required, and not shown on Falconebiz/TheCompanyCheck free tiers.

Loans & Charges

• Confirmed — cross-validated across Tofler and Falconebiz/TheCompanyCheck, total open charges ≈₹9.89–9.9 Cr on both:
• Falconebiz's summary bucketed the two Caspian charges together as " 0 Cr — good cross-source agreement., lender detail not itemised in the source

Related Parties

• No group/holding-company structure could be confirmed from the sources checked, this entity is not shown as a subsidiary of a listed group on Tofler/TheCompanyCheck.
• The only related-party signal is the unconfirmed Phenom domain-redirect noted under Business Overview/Funding — flagged as uncertain, not established fact.
• LinkedIn also lists an unrelated US company also named "Edge Networks", computer-networking-products company, "11-50 employees", — this is a different entity and must not be confused with AVR Edge Networks Pvt Ltd / the "EDGE"/"Getedge" HR-tech brand.

Credit Ratings

• Not obtained / no rating found. No CRISIL, ICRA, or CARE rating for this entity was located in the sources checked
• Typical for a company of this size that raises money via bank/NBFC debt rather than rated instruments.

Competitive Landscape

• No sourced competitor-comparison page was found
• The following is analyst-compiled based on category/product overlap with EDGE's AI talent-intelligence/skill-based-hiring positioning, not from a single citation — treat as indicative, not verified:
• Eightfold AI — global AI talent-intelligence platform, much larger scale, unicorn
• Belong — Bengaluru AI talent-CRM/sourcing platform, acquired by Kotak Mahindra Bank, 2022, — closest direct India peer
• Skillate — Bengaluru AI recruitment-automation/resume-screening startup (similar scale)
• HireEZ, formerly Hiretual, — global AI sourcing platform
• Phenom — global "Applied AI" talent-experience platform, also the entity getedge.ai currently redirects to — see caveat above
• Darwinbox — Indian HRMS platform with AI hiring modules, larger scale, broader HRMS suite vs EDGE's narrower AI-hiring focus
