MakeSense Technologies has developed proprietary software for semantic search, which will augment search capabilities for both recruiters and job seekers, principally on the company's portal Naukri.Com, it added.
Info Edge in a statement said MakeSense has developed an advanced semantic search technology for the recruitment space, using the power of natural language processing and text analytics.
"The acquisition will significantly benefit InfoEdge and specially Naukri as the technological expertise and experience of the MakeSense team will help us introduce new features for our recruitment business," Info Edge CEO Hitesh Oberoi said.
As a part of the acquisition, the team of MakeSense will join Info Edge, he added.
