Hi all,
We hope this message finds you well. We are writing this message as to inform certain changes that are happening in the way we used to operate and run our communities.
TLDR - Qoohoo (our community platform) is shutting down its operations and we will need to port all the community members. Please fill in the below information while we work on making things work internally.

Long post ahead -
To provide a little history -
May 2021 - is when we started HelpKart Scoop via Substack - a product that helps you find jobs and internship opportunities. Our USP was sharing the opportunities that were not easily available on the internet and different job portals and at a super cheap price.
Between May 2021 - Jun 2022 - Substack was doing good for us as a platform but always had issues with subscriptions and payment methods and was not catered for Indian customers.
June 2022 - This is where we decided to move from Substack to Qoohoo to run our communities. A creators platform run by Indian founders and catered for Indian users. Though the transition from Substack to Qoohoo was challenging for us and there were dropoffs that we saw but eventually things were going good and were taking shape.
May 2023 - This was the most challenging period for us as HelpKart as the core team working on the product got occupied in different engagements and as a reason we decided to put a pause on the communities. All this time, we still wanted to get back to deliver the right content to all of you but somewhere things were not in the right place.
Dec 2024 - Layoffs all over again and we took a leap of faith to build the community again to help people get new roles.
Jan 2024 - Major setback - Qoohoo announced they are shutting down and closing their operations. With our entire community still lying we don't want to lose any one of you in this transition this time.
Internally, we are working on finding alternatives that are concrete and makings things work again but meanwhile we just want you to stay tuned and provide the below details so that when we launch again, we can offer the services again.
