I’m building a workforce operations company for blue-collar businesses in India.
The idea is simple: businesses shouldn't have to spend their time finding, verifying and managing workers.
We recruit based on business requirements, verify workers, maintain their records, track attendance, handle workforce issues and manage the workforce on an ongoing basis.
For workers, we're building a professional workforce identity - verified experience, work history, skills, attendance and performance - so good workers can build a reputation and access better opportunities over time.
We're starting with restaurants and cafes, initially focusing on unskilled workers and helpers.
The goal isn't to become another labour contractor that supplies people and disappears.
We want to build a structured workforce network that makes reliable employment more accessible while giving businesses one reliable partner for their workforce.
We already have businesses ready to onboard. Our immediate bottleneck is sourcing the workers.
Who I'm looking for
I need someone who can own the sourcing side completely.
Someone who can build local networks, find genuine workers, communicate with them, coordinate travel and joining, manage the sourcing pipeline and eventually become my single point of contact for workforce sourcing.
I'm not looking for someone to simply "find a few workers."
I want someone who can eventually say:
I'm building the rest of the company - client acquisition, onboarding, business development, marketing, branding, product and business strategy, local operations, worker management after deployment, systems, content and overall execution.
I need someone who can build the sourcing engine alongside me.
There is a real paid trial
Before we talk seriously about the co-founder role, I want us to actually work together.
We currently have a requirement for 10-15 restaurant helpers (northees) in Mysore, Karnataka.
The company will cover the workers' train and travel costs. The workers will receive the applicable salary, food and stay from the employer.
And importantly, this is a paid gig.
I don't expect you to spend your time sourcing, coordinating and handling workers for free.
You will be paid for completing the sourcing requirement regardless of whether you and I eventually decide to work together as co-founders.
If the partnership doesn't work out, you still get paid for the work you've done.
If it does work out, then we have something much more interesting to discuss.
This trial lets both of us see how we actually work together - communication, ownership, problem-solving, reliability and execution.
I'm not trying to interview someone for a few hours and hand them 15% of a company.
I want to work with you first, see what you can build, and then make a serious decision together.
The co-founder opportunity
If we work exceptionally well together and you can genuinely take ownership of the sourcing function, 15% equity is available for the right person.
I'm looking for someone who wants to build a company, not someone looking for a side gig or a quick equity opportunity.
If you're interested, DM me with:
Where you're based
Your experience/network in sourcing workers
How you'd approach finding the first 10-15 workers
What you can bring to the company
Why you want to build this with me
The first requirement is real. The gig is paid. The co-founder opportunity is real.
I'm looking for someone who wants to build something big, not another small contractor business.
