How Sahyog works

Book a service in three simple steps. Our engine does the hard work of finding the right worker fairly.

1

Describe your need

Choose a service or simply speak about the problem in your own language.

2

Fair matching

Our allocation engine picks the best worker based on skill, distance, availability, rating, workload and earnings fairness — not just the nearest one.

3

Track & pay

Follow the job from request to completion. Transparent pricing and cooperative welfare contribution.

Why Sahyog is different

Most gig platforms optimise for speed and profit. Sahyog optimises for community, fairness and worker empowerment.

Cooperative ownership

Workers are members, not contractors. Earnings stay in the community.

Verified skills

ID and skill verification by the cooperative. Trust scores keep quality high.

AI-powered planning

Demand forecasting and skill-gap insights help the cooperative train and allocate better.

Worker welfare

Insurance cover, welfare fund and community jobs protect workers between gigs.
