Shape the future of hiring
Our founding story
We’re Arya and Aditya, co-founders of Contrario. We started after becoming recruiters ourselves and feeling the pain firsthand. Our early placements ran on WhatsApp threads, emailed PDFs, and messy spreadsheets.
We kept asking a simple question: why is recruiting still so manual? Contrario grew out of that frustration: a platform where recruiters can do their best work, supported by modern software and AI tools that improve placement rates and help companies hire faster.
