Kormo, digital job marketplace, expands to Dhaka

Marketplace for urban jobs and more, Korma, saw its official launch back in September of 2018 - but now its borders are expanding.

“In a move that is likely to have a significant impact on how people find jobs and employers hire in the informal sector in Bangladesh, Google has officially launched a new job marketplace in Dhaka for the informal sector jobs, aptly named Kormo. The mobile-based platform will connect job seekers and employers while also helping job seekers to level-up their skills by providing career development tips and information. Kormo has been developed under Google’s Area 120, an incubator program that deals with developing new innovative solutions for emerging markets inside Google.”
