Blind, a widely used anonymous platform for professionals, has officially launched its Blind Professional Community app in India.
A Secure Space for Workplace Discussions
Designed exclusively for verified professionals using work email addresses, Blind provides:
- Private forums for company-specific discussions.
- Public channels for industry-wide conversations.
Headquartered in the Bay Area, Blind has a strong global presence, with significant usage in the U.S., South Korea, the U.K., and Canada. With workplace transparency gaining importance, the platform is now expanding to India.
Blind’s Growing Presence in India
As of January 2025, Blind is actively used by:
- 90% of employees at Meta, Uber, PayPal, and Capital One.
- 70% of Microsoft employees in India.
The platform enables professionals to share insights on workplace conditions, career growth, and job opportunities. Blind also plans to expand beyond global corporations by engaging with Indian companies and offering localized content on workplace and social issues.
Anonymity and Trust
Blind’s patented anonymity technology ensures:
- No personal data is stored.
- User identities remain secure.
- There are no known breaches of anonymity.
The platform has become a trusted space for discussing long working hours, unfair practices, and layoffs. For instance, in 2023, Blind was the first to report layoffs at Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, providing affected employees—especially immigrants—timely information to prepare and seek new jobs. Due to its role in workplace transparency, Time magazine recognized Blind among the 100 Most Influential Companies.
Blind’s Expanding User Base
Blind has over 9 million verified users from 300,000+ companies worldwide. The platform provides access to:
- Salary data for various job roles.
- Job postings from verified professionals.
- Company reviews shared anonymously.
Stack Overflow has also recognized Blind as a leading resource for developers seeking job opportunities.
Key Features of Blind
- Industry-Specific Channels – Discussions on tech news, salaries, career tips, and job trends.
- Company Forums – Private discussions on layoffs, bonuses, remote work, and workplace policies.
- Salary Comparison Tool – Helps professionals assess their market value.
- Direct Messaging – Enables networking, referrals, and job-related discussions.
Availability and Access
The Blind app is now available for iOS and Android users in India.
- Work Email Sign-Up – Grants full access to all features.

Blind’s encrypted infrastructure ensures that user activity is separate from email verification. Since forgotten passwords cannot be retrieved, users must create a new account if access is lost.
Speaking about the launch in India, Sunguk Moon, CEO of Blind, stated,
Blind has proven to be a driving force for change, transforming workplace challenges—from excessive working hours to wage inequality and discrimination—into tangible reforms across companies worldwide.
Our platform increases transparency and access to information by enabling professionals to share crucial career insights. With our latest launch, professionals in India can now join this global movement and become part of our mission to improve corporate culture.
