10x cheaper, 50x faster: Vivek Khemani of Quantiphi on what AI is doing to hiring

ET Online | 12 Jun 2026, 07:28 PM IST

Vivek Khemani, co-founder of Quantiphi and a 15-year AI veteran, argues that AI is not destroying jobs but transforming them. He explains how his platform used machine learning and AI video interviews to process 25,000 applications in one week, conduct 6,000 video interviews at scale, and cut hiring costs from one month's salary to Rs 10,000 per offer. He also makes the case that new roles like AI engineer and forward-deployed engineer are replacing old ones, and that the number of jobs globally has only grown with every technology wave over the last 100 years.
