Building Without the Noise: How Vijay Yadav Helped 20,000+ Teachers with EduJobs India — In Just 6 Months

THE INTERVIEW

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Creator IRL.

We couldn’t have asked for a better first guest — Vijay Yadav, founder of EduJobs India and a LinkedIn voice known for cutting through the noise with purpose.

In this episode, we dive into how Vijay built EduJobs India — a job platform that’s helped over 20,000 people apply to jobs in just 6 months, not by chasing trends or relying on virality, but by staying true to a mission: creating opportunities that matter.

He talks about how it all began, the doubts along the way, and the real meaning of building in public — not just for attention, but for change.

If you've ever questioned whether your work matters just because it's not always visible on charts or feeds, this one's for you.

The "Screw It" Moment That Started Everything

Vijay's journey didn't begin with a grand vision or a perfectly crafted business plan. It started with frustration.

"I was seeing so many talented people struggle to find opportunities," Vijay recalls. "The job market felt broken for so many, especially those without the right connections or the perfect resume."

Instead of writing another LinkedIn post about the problem, Vijay decided to build the solution. No investors. No co-founders. No validation from industry experts.

Just a simple thought: "Screw it, I'm going to start."

That moment of decision — raw, unpolished, and beautifully human — is what separates builders from talkers. While others debated and planned, Vijay was launching a platform that mattered

Creating impact without clout

EduJobs didn’t explode overnight — and that’s the point.

In a digital world where visibility often gets mistaken for value, Vijay’s story reminds us what real impact looks like.

There were days when I questioned everything," he admits. "When you're building something , without the validation of likes and comments, the doubt creeps in fast."

But here's what kept him going: the first teacher who found a position through his platform.

That single success story became his North Star. It reminded him that behind every job application was a real educator with real passion for teaching, real bills to pay, real families depending on them, and most importantly, real students whose lives they could impact.

He dives into the emotional highs and lows of building something purpose-driven — the doubt, the quiet wins, the moments when it would’ve been easier to quit. But also, the messages from users that reminded him why it all mattered.

Redefining what it means to be a “creator”

Vijay is not chasing trends or algorithms. He’s building systems, helping people find jobs, and quietly reshaping lives.

“I think the definition of a creator is someone who gives opportunity to themselves and at the same time to other people.”

It’s a simple, powerful shift in perspective — one that reframes creation as service, not just self-expression.

This episode expands the definition of the creator economy beyond cameras and content. It’s about building things that matter, and sharing that value in real ways — whether or not the internet sees it.

Creator IRL Notes

What stuck with us from this conversation:

“You don’t need an audience to create impact.”

Vijay’s journey proves that real outcomes don’t require noise. His work has helped thousands — not because he went viral, but because he stayed focused on people, not performance.

“Start now. Even if it’s messy.”

From that first “screw it” moment to quietly placing thousands of job seekers, Vijay shows us that progress beats perfection — every time.

“Intention over attention.”

In a world chasing reach, Vijay builds with purpose. His story reminds us that true success isn’t about being seen — it’s about making something that matters.

Impact is personal.

One of Vijay’s proudest moments came when a job seeker in the UAE used EduJobs India to land a role in Bengaluru within weeks. It wasn’t just a placement — it was a life move. That story captures what real impact looks like: one person, one opportunity, one quiet win that changes everything.

What's Next for Creator IRL

This is just the beginning. Creator IRL exists to celebrate the builders, the problem-solvers, the dedicated creators who are shaping our world one person at a time.

We're not interested in the highlight reels. We want the real stories. The messy beginnings. The moment of doubt. The simple message that changed everything.

If you know someone building something meaningful — not for the gram or the algorithm, but because it matters — we want to hear from them.
