Our Team
Gopi
Founder & CEO
I came to the UK as an international student with ambition, curiosity, and a backpack full of dreams. Like thousands of others, I worked hard, earned my degree, and began the next chapter — finding a job that would allow me to stay, grow, and contribute.
But what I quickly discovered was how overwhelming and broken the journey can be for immigrants. Searching for jobs that offered visa sponsorship felt like walking blindfolded through a maze — scattered information, unclear policies, endless rejections.
I wasn’t alone. My peers were going through the same thing. So I built Immi — the platform I wished I had.
Why I Built Immi
Immi was born out of personal experience and built from scratch to serve a community that deserves better. It’s not just a job search tool — it’s a mission-driven ecosystem helping immigrants access accurate, transparent, and useful tools to succeed in the UK job market.
Before Immi, I had already:
Co-founded a courier startup during the COVID-19 lockdown that helped over 400 students send their belongings home. We scaled operations from 3 to 10 people in just 4 months.
Worked at Apple as a Sales Specialist, understanding customer behaviour and delivering world-class experiences.
Built apps to support learners and people with chronic pain — always using tech to solve real-world problems.
Immi is the next chapter in that journey.
My Approach
I don’t just understand the problem — I’ve lived it.
With a background in software development, UX, startup operations, and customer engagement, I bring a rare combination of technical skill and lived empathy. I’m not guessing what immigrants need — I am one.
Every line of code in Immi was written with purpose. Every feature designed to reduce anxiety and give users control.
