Description

Digital Labour Chowk is India’s first digital platform that replaces traditional roadside “labour chowks” by connecting daily wage workers—like masons, carpenters, painters, electricians—with contractors and employers via an easy-to-use mobile app. Founded in October 2020 by Chandrashekhar Mandal and launched in March 2023, it simplifies hiring: contractors post jobs with skill and wage info, while workers apply using intuitive icons and filters—no more standing in the rain hoping for work ([startuppedia.in][1]).

By September 2024, the platform boasted over 100,000 registered workers, 3,000+ job listings, and facilitated around 1,000 hires per day in areas like Bihar, Noida, and Delhi ([startuppedia.in][1]). It aims to ensure fair wages, transparent payments, skill recognition, access to government schemes, and even upskilling—bridging India’s informal labour market with organized, tech-driven opportunity .

In short, Digital Labour Chowk is bringing dignity, efficiency, and digital inclusion to India’s blue-collar workforce—making daily employment fairer and easier for millions.
