Sanat Hegde

Mumbai founder of Hirevire, a bootstrapped async video screening micro-SaaS at $14K MRR

About Sanat Hegde

Sanat Hegde is a Mumbai-based founder who builds Hirevire, which he describes as a boring B2B micro-SaaS built by borrowing great ideas from other products. Before that he ran a small web development business, where he screened every applicant himself, and after that company was acquired in 2018 he saw how much context was lost in HR screening.

In 2021 he and co-founder Nikhil Kachare built Hirevire, which replaces first-round phone screens with one-way video, audio and text responses that candidates record on their own time, with AI scorecards and support for 21 languages. After starting with AppSumo lifetime deals, it has grown to about $14K MRR and more than $270K in verified total revenue on TrustMRR.
