Problem and implemented solution

India and many BRICS nations face a critical employability crisis stemming from a widening skill gap between education and industry requirements. This mismatch results in high unemployment rates, particularly among recent graduates, while paradoxically, companies struggle to find qualified candidates.

Hyper-realistic Interview Simulations: AI-powered 3D avatars conduct fully dynamic interviews across 2,000+ job roles, adapting in real-time to candidate responses. 2. Comprehensive Feedback: The platform provides personalized feedback on verbal and non-verbal communication, technical skills, and behavioral aspects, using industry-standard frameworks. 3. Multi-lingual Support: VRPlaced caters to India's linguistic diversity, making quality interview preparation accessible across regions. 3. AI-driven Recruitment Tools: For employers, VRPlaced offers efficient candidate assessment, screening, and data-driven insights to streamline hiring processes. 4.
