Fair local work, measured

Most women in Indian cities are outside paid work. Only 27.7% of urban women are in the labour force, against 76.2% of urban men, and 44.4% of women outside it say childcare or housework is the reason (PLFS 2025, MoSPI). Women in casual work earn ₹315 a day on average; men earn ₹455.

The work exists. In every street in Bokaro someone cleans, cooks, repairs, tutors or looks after a parent. What is missing is a fair way to find it, price it and get paid for it.

What we built for that

• No joining fee. Nothing to pay to join or stay listed.
• A low, published fee. 20% on services, 15% on rides, moving and courier, 0% on scrap, buyback and free pickups. Partners keep 80–100% of every job.
• The price before the job. No bargaining at the door, and the same rate for every partner.
• Paid every Monday, to UPI or bank.
• Safety on both sides: ID and selfie checks, police verification before the first job, a 4-digit start code, and masked phone numbers.

The pay check we hold ourselves to

Home help is priced at ₹49 for 30 minutes. After our fee, a partner keeps ₹78.40 for each booked hour, about 25% above Jharkhand's minimum wage for unskilled work. But she reaches the daily minimum only at about 6.4 booked hours a day. So the rate is not the impact. Filling her day is, and that is the number we will report.

What we will not claim

• Our partners are independent professionals, not employees, and we do not claim to give them social security. Accident and health cover is the first thing funding will pay for.
• We count partners who earn, not sign-ups.
• We have no results yet. Our first numbers come in our first quarterly report, harms included.
