Though they ran completely different businesses, what bound them was passion for
wildlife. Also, being entrepreneurs themselves, they understood the pain points of
entrepreneurship, chief among these to
bond with the right people to grow their
business".

in helping several find jobs.
We are not sure how many were
fired but at least 300 Yahoo! executives
registered with us, said Talwar, chief
executive officer, myNoticePeriod.com.
We personally knew several of the people affected. We haven't given a thought
to whether or not we would do this for
another company but may consider it.
The start-up was founded in January
2014, allowing companies to recruit
from a pool of talented professionals
ready to take up a new job.
Both of us used to recruit for our
teams in our earlier jobs. It was a constant pain when candidates would first
take up the offer and then refuse the job

the idea of myNoticePeriod.com came to
us, said Talwar.
