A significant portion of India's economic activity operates outside formal employment systems. Plumbers, electricians, domestic helpers, tutors, mechanics, small vendors, and students offering part-time services often lack access to structured marketplaces, physical shops, or stable employment contracts. Meanwhile, households, small businesses, and communities frequently need short-duration, task-specific work—not full-time hiring or long-term contracts.
Existing solutions focus on either full employment or gig marketplaces, which introduce high entry barriers, platform dependence, commissions, and rigid role definitions. There is a lack of systems that enable small, composable units of work to be exchanged flexibly, transparently, and locally.
- Informal workers lack visibility, digital presence, and proof of work without owning a shop or business
- Small businesses and households often need short, specific tasks, not long-term hiring
- Students and learners have limited opportunities to apply skills in real-world settings before formal employment
- Existing platforms prioritize ratings, commissions, and long contracts, which discourage small-scale participation
- Trust in informal work is built through word-of-mouth and is not portable across locations
- Encourages fair access to work opportunities
- Avoids exploitative gig dynamics
- Supports inclusion of informal and unregistered workers
- Promotes dignity of labor through contribution-based recognition
