For decades, hiring daily wage workers in Bangalore has worked the same way — labour contractors, word of mouth, WhatsApp groups, or standing at a labour naka at 6am. It is slow, unreliable and expensive. Kelsa was built to fix this.

Speed

Traditional hiring: You call a contractor, they call their contacts, you wait 1-3 days.

Kelsa: Post a job at 7am. GPS matches you with workers in your area. Worker arrives by 8am.

Cost

Traditional hiring: Labour contractors take 20-40% commission. You pay ₹700/day but the worker only gets ₹500.

Kelsa: Kelsa charges just 10%. Workers keep 90% of agreed wages, paid directly to their UPI.

Reliability

Traditional hiring: No accountability. Workers don't show up, contractors disappear.

Kelsa: Every worker has a profile with ratings and reviews. Job Insurance guarantees a replacement within 2 hours.

Safety

Traditional hiring: You don't know who is coming to your home or site. No background checks.

Kelsa: All workers go through Aadhaar-based identity verification.
