ಕನ್ನಡ community · IT & Non-IT referrals

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೋಸ್ಕರಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಂದ, ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ · By Kannadigas, for Kannadigas

ನಮ್ಮ ಊರು, ನಮ್ಮ ಭಾಷೆ, ನಮ್ಮ ಜನ. Job ಹುಡುಕ್ತಿರೋರು, referral ಬೇಕಿರೋರು, ಅಥವಾ "ನಮ್ಮವರು" ಅಂತ ಒಬ್ಬರು ಜೊತೆಗಿರಲಿ ಅನ್ನೋ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನಿಗೂ ಇದು ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆ. ಒಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆತ್ತಲಿ. ಒಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ನಿಂತರೆ, ನಮ್ಮ voice ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಕೇಳಿಸುತ್ತೆ.

ಸೇರಿ · Become a member ಮೊದಲ meetup · 1 Nov

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಮ್ಮದೇ. ಆದರೆ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಸಲ, ನಮ್ಮದೇ ಊರಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಒಂಟಿ.

Bengaluru is ours. Yet so many times, in our own city, we stand alone.

ಒಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಂದರೆ, ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬನ ಕೈ ಹಿಡಿದು ಮೇಲೆತ್ತಬೇಕು.

When one Kannadiga rises, he should hold another's hand and lift him up.

ನಾವು ಏನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ · WHAT WE DOOur promises to every member.

This is not a page that only posts job links. It is a family that shows up for each other.

ರೆಫರಲ್ · ReferralsKannadigas refer Kannadigas

IT, non-IT, government, startups, local businesses. If you are inside a company, you open the door for the next Kannadiga. If you need a door opened, we find someone.

ಧ್ವನಿ · VoiceWe raise our voice, loudly

Fake job offers, unfair hiring, scams targeting our youth, issues no one talks about. Alone we are ignored. Together we are heard.

ಒಗ್ಗಟ್ಟು · UnityWe meet, we grow, together

Regular meetups, mentorship from seniors, career guidance in Kannada, and friendships that last longer than any job.

ನೀವು ಒಂಟಿ ಅಲ್ಲ. We've got your back, whatever happens.

💔 Laid off suddenly?We'll help you get back on your feet with referrals, guidance and people who've been there.
🚨 Caught in a job scam or unfair treatment?We'll stand with you and raise our voice together.
🧭 Stuck in your career?Confused about the next step? Seniors in the community will guide you.
🙋 Need any help?A referral, a contact, advice, or just someone to talk to. Ask, and the community will show up.

ಕಷ್ಟ ಬಂದಾಗ ಕೈ ಹಿಡಿಯೋದೇ ನಿಜವಾದ community.

ಯಾಕೆ ಈ ಸಮುದಾಯ? · WHY WE EXISTWe've all felt this.

These are not just stories. They are messages we receive every single day from Kannadiga students and working professionals.

“ಅರ್ಜಿ ಹಾಕಿ ಹಾಕಿ ಸುಸ್ತಾಯ್ತು.”Hundreds of applications. No reply. Not one call back.

“ರೆಫರಲ್ ಕೊಡೋಕೆ ಯಾರೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.”Every opening needs a referral, and there is nobody inside to ask.

“ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ ಸರಿ ಬರಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ ಹಿಂದೆ ಉಳಿದೆ.”Talent held back only because of hesitation in English.

“ಹಳ್ಳಿಯಿಂದ ಬಂದೆ, ಯಾರೂ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.”Came from a small town to the city. No network, no guidance.

“ಮೋಸದ ಜಾಬ್ ಆಫರ್‌ಗೆ ದುಡ್ಡು ಕಳ್ಕೊಂಡೆ.”Lost hard-earned money to fake job offers and placement scams.

“ಕೆಲಸ ಹೋಯ್ತು, ಮುಂದೇನು ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.”Laid off overnight, with a family depending on that salary.

One Kannadiga inside a company can change another Kannadiga's life. This community is built on that belief.

ನೀವು ಒಂದು referral ಕೊಟ್ರೆ, ಒಂದು ಕುಟುಂಬದ ಬದುಕು ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತೆ. ಇವತ್ತು ನೀವು ಕೈ ಹಿಡಿದವರೇ, ನಾಳೆ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರ ಕೈ ಹಿಡಿಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಹೀಗೇ ನಮ್ಮ community ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗುತ್ತೆ.

One referral can change a whole family's life. The person you lift today lifts the next one tomorrow. That is how our community grows strong.

ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಾಮಾಣಿಕ ಮಾತು · A TRANSPARENT NOTEWhy you see KA Degree here.

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ, ನಾನು Nitin. Instagram, YouTube ನಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ನನ್ನನ್ನ NJ Kannadiga ಅಂತ ನೋಡಿರಬಹುದು. ಈ community ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿರೋದು ನಾನೇ.

ಮೊದಲ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಬೇಗ ಇಡೋಕೆ, ಈಗ payment page ಮತ್ತು website subdomain KA Degree ಅವರದ್ದು ಬಳಸ್ತಿದೀವಿ. ಈ ಆರಂಭಕ್ಕೆ ಕೈ ಜೋಡಿಸಿದ KA Degree ಗೆ ಮನಃಪೂರ್ವಕ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು. 🙏

For this first phase, contributions are collected through KA Degree's Razorpay payment page, and the site runs on a KA Degree subdomain. This let us launch before the 1 November meetup without waiting weeks for new accounts.

This is temporary. Once we have enough contributions, the community will move to its own website, its own payment account and its own identity, run by and for its members. We'll announce the move inside the WhatsApp community.
