In a major fillip to its future plans, ZingHR, a Microsoft-Accelerated HR-Tech startup, has garnered USD 10 million in funding from Tata Capital Growth Fund II, the flagship private equity fund of Tata Capital.

The investment will be utilised for further geographic expansion, technology upgradation, and to strengthen the company’s outreach to the right talent.
