Company search
Find companies by what they do, where they are, how they’re funded and how big they are.
Company search finds employers by what they do, where they are, how they’re funded and how big they are. Use it to build a target list before you look for people: every listed pharma maker in Hyderabad, Series B fintechs in Bengaluru, or logistics companies with more than 1,000 staff. From any company, one click takes you to the people who work there.
Open it from the sidebar: Companies.
What’s in the data#
Ladel describes about 3,000 Indian companies in full: what they do, sector, headquarters, headcount, funding rounds and investors, acquisitions, leaders and, where known, revenue and valuation. Many more companies are on record with just a name, website and LinkedIn page, so you can still find people who work at them.
Money is in US dollars
Total raised, revenue and valuation are stored in US dollars and shown in millions ($M). Revenue is known for most of the fully described companies; valuation for only about 1 in 10.

Ideas for company searches#
- Poaching ground for a role: competitors in your sector and city, sorted by headcount.
- Recently funded and hiring: sort by Latest round and set a Last round between range.
- Plants and factories: Manufacturing and industrials with a headquarters city like Chennai or Pune.
- Backed by one investor: name them in Backed by to see their portfolio.
Questions#
Why is a company missing its funding or revenue?
Total raised is known for about 3 in 10 companies; listed and bootstrapped firms often have none on record. Valuation is known for about 1 in 10. Filters on these fields leave out companies with no figure.
Can I shortlist companies?
Projects hold people, not companies. Ask Haley to save companies as a company list, or press People to shortlist the people who work there.
