ApnaCircle is a Viadeo Group Co. and is India's first and leading Business and Career networking site. Professionals can use the network to enhance their career prospects, discover business opportunities, build relationships with new contacts and create their effective online identities.
The idea was incepted by serial entrepreneur Mr. Yogesh Bansal in the year 2006 when social networking was naïve. The aim was to connect the youth of India and make the connectivity and networking worthwhile for them. The need and importance of a professional network for the youth was realized with the launch of ApnaCircle which was later joined by Mr. Sabeer Bhatia as one of the Board of Directors in 2007.
It was in the year 2009 that ApnaCircle merged with Viadeo-Tianji, the leading professional networking sites of Europe and China, to form the leading Global entity which is in align with the 'Glo-cal' strategy of theirs. Also, ApnaCircle – Viadeo - Tianji acquired Unyk, a Canadian social networking site to grow the Indian market organically. The idea was to give users a local network with a global reach.
Continued organic growth coupled with an emerging markets acquisition strategy has taken the Viadeo Group to a global number two position.
