Naukri

Naukri refers primarily to the online job portal Naukri.com, one of the largest and most prominent job search websites in India. The word "Naukri" itself translates directly to "job" or "employment" in Hindi.

Naukri.com, operated by Info Edge (India) Ltd., allows job seekers to create profiles, upload resumes, and search for employment opportunities across various industries and locations. Employers, in turn, can post job vacancies, search for potential candidates, and manage their recruitment processes through the platform.

Beyond the specific website, the term "Naukri" is frequently used colloquially in Indian English to generally refer to job hunting, employment, or the state of being employed. For example, someone might say, "I am looking for a naukri," meaning "I am looking for a job." Similarly, they could say, "He got a good naukri," meaning "He got a good job." The term's widespread use reflects its deep integration into the everyday language surrounding employment within the Indian context. It is a common and readily understood term when discussing career prospects and employment status.
