In 2012, Neeraj Tiwari, a recent graduate, faced the daunting reality of job rejections. Despite his qualifications, he repeatedly heard the familiar line from HR: “We will call you.” Instead of continuing to navigate the frustrating landscape of interviews, Neeraj decided to forge his own path, leading to the founding of HiTech Human Capital (India) Ltd (HHCiL).
What started as a personal response to job market frustrations has transformed into a mission to create opportunities for others. HHCiL’s evolution from a small proprietorship to a public limited company was not without its challenges. With an initial team of just 10 and a modest capital of ₹50,000, Neeraj faced skepticism in the competitive security and facility management sectors.
However, he embraced these hurdles as opportunities for growth. Through a commitment to quality service, HHCiL built a strong reputation, with word of mouth becoming its most effective marketing tool. By 2015, this dedication paid off, allowing the company to transition into a private limited entity. In 2018, it expanded its offerings to include payroll management and other essential services.
The company’s resilience shone brightly during the post-COVID recovery phase, as it adopted a market penetration strategy that spread its operations across 12 states with over 4,000 personnel. In 2023, HHCiL achieved the significant milestone of becoming a public limited company.

Neeraj Tiwari notes the vast opportunities within the private security and facility management sectors, which collectively employ over 10 million people in India and contribute approximately 23% to the nation’s GDP. Despite challenges like price-cutting and competition, Tiwari remains optimistic about the industry’s potential.
Looking ahead, HHCiL is targeting an initial public offering (IPO) by FY 2027-28, with a revenue goal of ₹1,000 crore by March 2027. Neeraj’s journey from job rejection to creating a thriving business exemplifies the resilience and innovation needed to tackle the challenges of the Indian job market.
