FLO Hyderabad, led by Chairperson Prathibha Kunda, organised its national job fair on 2nd August, 2025, at Avinash College of Commerce in Secunderabad under its Linkages between ACADEMIA Industry and Govt. initiative. This is the first in a series of job fairs to follow across all chapters. Also, this flagship initiative is aimed at enabling direct access to employment and skilling opportunities to empower women and young students.
The event was inaugurated by Chief Guest Hari Chandana Dasari, IAS, District Collector of Hyderabad, who lauded FLO for turning its national network and influence into tangible, grassroots action. Guest of Honour, Ms. Pinky Reddy, Past National President, FLO, reflected on the organisation’s 43-year journey, stating that for the first time, aspiration and opportunity were being bridged together in a structured and scalable manner.
The event was a seamless, tech-enabled experience from employer onboarding to candidate-job matching and interview coordination. The FLO Job Fair was supported by DEET – Digital Employment Exchange of Telangana, whose extensive database helped amplify the reach and connect relevant job seekers with suitable employers. Key corporate participants included PayTM, JustDial, HDFC, Insurance Saathi, Azad Engineering, Brilliant Biopharmaceuticals, VisionTek, Polmon, Creamstone and many others.
The job fair offered a range of roles across sales & marketing, accounts & finance, digital marketing, administration, design, microbiology, and IT support. Chairperson Prathibha Kunda stated that she hoped this job fair would be a game-changing movement and would be willing to use this experience to assist other chapters willing to host such job fairs. The vision for the Job Fair was driven by CA Shubhraa Maheshwari, Past Chairperson, FLO Hyderabad and National Lead, Academia-Industry-Government (AIG) Linkages team.
She said that the FLO Job Fair is part of FLO’s commitment to long-term economic empowerment. Also, Ms. Maheshwari is working on an upcoming white paper on ‘The Employment Landscape in India: Past Decade Analysis and Future Outlook (2015–2035). It will be officially released in Delhi during the FLO Job Fair scheduled there later this month. National team members, Ms. Priya Gazdar and Ms. Sujitha Chityala, successfully coordinated the event in Hyderabad.
The first-ever job fair hosted by FLO Hyderabad saw an overwhelming response with over 500 job seekers engaged with 38 top employers. 1300 interviews were conducted for 900 job openings. More than 100 candidates received on-the-spot appointment letters, which is a true validation of FLO Hyderabad’s effort. Also, 20 members from FLO Hyderabad attended the session.
