Dignity of work
Every job, from a day of tiling to a month in a kitchen, deserves a fair, clear offer.
Our purpose
Why we built Velaiyo
A job app for the people who build, cook, clean, wire, paint and drive India, and for the homes and businesses that need them.
Velai (வேலை) means work. Finding it should not depend on who you know.
Today, most daily-wage work is found the old way: a phone call from someone who knows someone, a crowd at the corner every morning, or a middleman who decides who works and keeps part of the pay. Workers lose days. Employers struggle to find people they can trust.
Apps exist, but most are built for people who read and type English comfortably. That leaves out a large part of the people who do this work.
What Velaiyo does
One app, built around the voice
Workers say the job they want in their own language and apply in one tap. Employers describe the work by voice and see who is nearby, with ratings, work photos and a voice intro. Licensed brokers recommend people from their teams and run larger sites. Everyone talks inside the app, without sharing phone numbers.
When the work is done, the employer pays the worker directly, by UPI or cash, and the worker confirms it. Velaiyo charges a small, clear platform fee to post a job paid in cash. It never takes a cut of anyone's wages.
What we believe
Four promises we design every screen around
Money goes direct
Wages move from the employer to the worker. We never sit in between.
Private by default
No one sees your phone number or exactly where you live. Ever.
Simple for everyone
If you can speak, you can use Velaiyo. No reading or typing required.
