Non-Profit Job Portal and mobile app for Gig Workforce
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
Project Overview
I’m helping my uncle build a not-for-profit job portal and mobile app to empower India’s 300M+ informal/semi-formal workforce, focusing predominantly on gig workers (e.g., delivery, retail) and middle-level roles (e.g., IT, marketing) across metro, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities (e.g., Mumbai, Delhi, UP, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Assam).
Inspired by a personal tragedy—the loss of near and dear ones in accidents while working as delivery partners—my uncle aims to create a platform that provides safe, accessible job opportunities for needy job seekers. The platform addresses fragmented job platforms, skill mismatches, and language barriers through a mobile-first web portal (PWA) and native mobile app (iOS/Android), featuring multilingual support (Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Assamese, English, scalable to Tamil, Telugu, Marathi) and maximized AI/ML for job matching, skill assessment, and career guidance. It integrates with government/NGOs (e.g., NSDC, Pratham) and edtech partners (e.g., upGrad) for jobs and upskilling, ensuring sustainability through minimal monetization.
Objective: Build a scalable, user-friendly platform to connect Bharat’s job seekers with employers, integrating upskilling and AI/ML
