Private professional matching · AI-led, human-assisted
Tell Krignal once. We keep looking.
Krignal is India’s global business network for professional introductions. Describe the person or opportunity you need in your own words — a cofounder, an investor, an advisor, a customer, your next role — and Krignal keeps looking, privately, until a relevant match turns up.

Why it’s different
The usual way, and the Krignal way.
The right people and opportunities are already out there. Finding them is the hard part, and the usual tools ask you to do the finding.
| Situation | The usual way | With Krignal |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the person | Search, scroll and guess who might be right | Describe them once, in your own words |
| Reaching them | Cold messages, then follow-ups | An introduction only when you both say yes |
| Your intent | Posted publicly, or not at all | Private by default — you decide what’s shared |
| Who’s there | Anyone with an account | Every member is reviewed before admission |
| When nothing fits today | Start the search again next month | Your request stays open while Krignal keeps looking |
How it works
Ask once. Krignal does the looking.
01
Tell Krignal what you’re looking for, and what you offer.
Describe the person or opportunity in your own words. Krignal uses your background, goals and what you can offer to understand every request in context. This becomes your private Professional Relationship Map.

- Cofounder
- Investor
- Advisor

What you’re offering

- Fractional roleCommercial
- MentoringNon-commercial
- Intros & adviceNon-commercial
You, and the matches you need. Only you can see this map.
02
Krignal works the request.
AI searches and compares context in the background, with human assistance where it matters. You aren’t contacted, nothing is shared, and you decide what goes further.
Your AI assistant · in the background
You are not contacted- “Would he take a seed cheque in infrastructure?”Context matchesWaiting for you
- “Is she open to advising a fintech?”Checking overlapNo contact made
- “Is this the right stage for a board seat?”Comparing contextNothing shared yet
The assistant can handle limited first-level questions, using only the context you allow. You can turn it off at any time.
03
Krignal keeps looking, and you decide.
When a potential match is found, Krignal explains why. You decide whether to take it further, and contact happens only on mutual interest. What follows stays with the two of you.

Built for real introductions
Built around how introductions actually happen.
A private map of you
Your background, goals and what you can offer, commercial or not, so every request is read in context.
AI on your terms
Turn the assistant on or off. It answers limited first-level questions using only the context you allow.
People in the loop
AI leads the search, with human assistance where it matters. Companies also get a Krignal Relationship Manager.
Before you’re in the room
Add an event, trip or date, and Krignal checks it against active requests on both sides. Being in the same place never creates a match on its own.
Credits, not rankings
Your profile is free. Credits are spent only when you ask Krignal to work a new request, and never affect admission, visibility or ranking.
Private by default
Your intent stays yours.
You control what other members can see, what Krignal may surface, and when your identity is revealed. Your profile and each request have separate visibility settings.
Profile
Private. No forced public profile, and no public directory.
Requests
Private, unless you choose wider discovery among relevant members.
AI assistant
On or off. It only uses the context you allow.

Relevant on both sides
Krignal works because everyone brings something.
Every member says what they need and what they can offer. That is how Krignal finds genuine relevance on both sides, and why an introduction is worth both people’s time.
The match you need
The single most valuable introduction Krignal could make for you.
Or simply tell Krignal what you’re looking for, in your own words.
What you can offer
Non-commercial offers and commercial listings are set up separately once you’re admitted.
Krignal works because everyone brings something.
The problem
The right people are already out there.
What we hear from founders, investors and operators, before they ask Krignal.
“The founders worth backing are the ones who aren’t pitching me.”
“I can’t reach the one cofounder who’d change everything.”
“The advisor I need for this next stage isn’t in my network yet.”
“I have 600+ connections, but none I can turn to when I need to grow.”
“The opportunities worth our capital never arrive through a banker.”
“I don’t have time to post anything on social, so I remain invisible.”

The straight answers.
Are my profile and match requests public?
Private by default. You can choose to make a request visible to relevant members if you want wider discovery. Your profile and each request have separate visibility settings. You decide what’s surfaced, to whom, and when your identity can be revealed.
How long does a match take?
It depends on how specific the request is and when a sufficiently relevant potential match becomes available. Krignal keeps searching and notifies you when one is found.
How does Krignal decide what’s a potential match?
Krignal works from the context in your Professional Relationship Map and the request itself, looking for genuine relevance on both sides. You’re only notified when Krignal identifies a sufficiently relevant potential match, and you decide whether to take it further.
Is every member reviewed?
Yes. Every member is individually reviewed before admission. No forced public profile, no public directory, no mass messaging, no ranking by spend.
Can Krignal match me around an event or trip?
Yes. Add an event, trip or date to your Professional Relationship Map and Krignal checks it against active requests on both sides, surfacing who’s worth meeting before you’re in the room. Being in the same place never creates a match on its own.
How do Credits work?
Creating and maintaining your profile is free. Credits are used for matching activity. For Individuals runs on Credits, and every member gets free Credits to start. You spend them only when you ask Krignal to work a new match request. They do not affect admission, visibility or ranking.
Does Krignal guarantee a match?
No. Krignal keeps searching and, where relevant, facilitates contact on mutual interest. What follows stays with the two people.
How do I join?
Request an invitation, come through a referral, or be invited directly. Every request is reviewed. Admission is at Krignal’s discretion, and membership cannot be bought.
