3. Lets Take Some World Challenges
i t s y o u r s k i l l s . c o m
CHALLENGES WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
Individuals find it difficult to make
choices on what careers they should take
Individuals should be able to map their skills well, they should be having
data on what skills are in demand, what skills are likely to have the future
Individuals in companies do not have
clear idea of their fut
Individual should be able to map their skills well, they should have data on
what skills are required in different jobs within the company or in their areas
in the market
Companies need agility to respond to
competition
Skills will have to be quickly augmented from within company (preferably) or
from outside (on short term or long term basis) to cater to the demands of
the competitive scenario either to innovate or to respond.
Governments need better data to
channelize nation’s human resource
development
We need Big Data on skills from different sources to create models and
predictive analytics so that Governments can channelize resources to the
right efforts

Q A

6. Pros and Cons on HR Tech Investment
Negative Factors:
1
2
3
HR Tech is a very crowded place with
thousands of small players, particularly
in the Recruitment space
There are a handful of large players who
are well entrenched into the enterprise sector
HR (except areas like Payroll) are not
Must-Have-Applications area
Positive Factors:
1
2
3
Problems in HR (recruitment, learning &
development etc.) are still ubiquitous and
profound
Tremendous room for innovation in solving
the problems
Huge opportunity if business model is right

7. Key factors of IYS approach
1
2
3
Problems and solutions to the ubiquitous and profound problems related to employability, employment,
development, deployment etc. revolve around “Skills”
So far the emphasis when it comes to Human Capital has been on information such as Age, Titles, Years of
Experience, Degrees. These are less relevant today. What is relevant is “Skills”
However, “Skills” are fuzzy, non-numerical, confusing and difficult to measure.
4
If we can get quality data on Skills, analytics around skills will enable superior Human Capital Management
activities at individual, organization and government levels.

8. IYS has been there for 10 years. Why has it not made money?
IYS invested in solving a critical and complex problem. And solution for that had to be created ground up.
And solution has had to undergo several iterations to ensure its usefulness, scalability, and applicability
across domains.
IYS has generated revenue of 150K
In the process it has also seen validation of its thinking on the problem and solution.
Some doubts that could come when
Considering investment in IYS

9. Some doubts that could come when
Considering investment in IYS
IYS says that the problem of Skills data is important. Why have other big players not solved it? Wont others
not jump and start copying / competing?
Skills Data (Taxonomy / Ontology) is not a pure technology problem. It may not be a rocket science but
definitely needs time and effort to appreciate the various complexities related to the space.
And this IYS invested – time and effort.
Many others try to bring technology wizards to solve the problem. But have not succeeded.
Copying is not so easy as there are complexities in the Data Model, not that it cannot be copied. But there is
little reason to copy as IYS shares the resource, at a cost of course.

13. IYS Offering 1: Skills API (B2B2B / B2B2C)
i t s y o u r s k i l l s . c o m
Target Audience
HR Tech companies like HRIS (example Success factors), Job Boards (Naukri), LMS
(example: Saba), Recruitment Systems (eg: Kennexa), etc
Revenue Model
Pay for use i.e. pay for the number of API calls (in simple terms how many ever times
the skills are fetched) and per API call is around 0.02 USD.
So a customer using 1 Mn calls will pay 20,000K USD
Competition
There are other taxonomies like O*Net. However, no one is anywhere close to IYS
Skills Ontology
Illustration of the solution
The solution i.e. Skills Ontology API is like the Google Maps API
Google Maps is very basis of all applications that are location based like Uber, Swiggy,
Amazon etc.
Google Maps get paid on API calls and also keeps garnering meta data to build
intelligence
