Mahatma Gandhi was against untouchability and had empathy for manual scavengers and cleaners. The society has changed a lot since those times but still there is a trust deficit between them and those they serve.HELPI is working towards bridging the trust gap between users and blue-collared professionals. It is a start-up which provides domestic helps and cleaners on an hourly pricing basis via a technology platform that connects customers with HELPI cleaners.
Founded by three alumni of IIT Mumbai, the startup is bound to create a revolution in the manner we hire domestic aids and cleaners. The cleaners get notification on the jobs in the neighbourhood via an app, which also helps them in managing their jobs, as well as visibility on customer feedback and incentive accounting.
The cleaning professionals thus not only gets job opportunities, they are imparted skills training to hone their cleaning as well as soft skills. The organisation provides a platform through which the cleaning professionals can earn up to twice the amount they were making when working independently, or with other contractors e.g. a full time domestic help generally makes 6-8 K whereas cleaner or a maid with HELPI can get upto 30,000.
