Fair local work, measured.
Jhatpat brings fair, digital, openly priced work to Bokaro. Partners are paid by the customer at the end of every job, pay us only a small flat fee per job, and join with just Aadhaar and a phone. Here is what we do, which UN Sustainable Development Goals it serves, and how we will prove it.
Most women in Indian cities are outside paid work.
Only 27.7% of urban women are in the labour force, against 76.2% of urban men, and 44.4% of women outside it name childcare or housework as the reason. Women in casual work earn ₹315 a day on average, men ₹455. Local service work could close that gap — but today it is informal, unrecorded and priced by bargaining at the door.

No joining fee
Nothing to pay to join or to stay listed.
A low, published fee
20% on services, 15% on rides, moving and courier, 0% on scrap, buyback and free pickups.
Price agreed before the job
The customer names a price, partners may offer their own, and the customer chooses. Nothing changes at the door.
Paid at every job
In cash or straight to their own UPI ID, with every job and payment on a digital record.
Six targets we serve directly.
Each names the official UN target and the number we report against it.
8.5 · Decent work, equal pay
Every partner sees the customer’s price and the same flat fee, and sets their own offer. We report net earnings per booked hour, by sex, against the Jharkhand minimum wage.
8.3 · Small enterprise
Partners run their own business with a digital record of jobs, ratings and earnings. We report active, earning partners.
8.8 · Safe work
ID and selfie checks, police verification, start codes and in-app chat that keeps phone numbers private. We report safety incidents per 1,000 jobs and how each was resolved.
5.4 · Valuing care work
Babysitting, elder care and home help become paid, rated work. We report care hours booked and what carers earn.
5.b · Technology for women
A Hindi-first phone app women run their own work from. We report the share of women among partners and earnings.
12.5 · Recycling and reuse
Scrap, e-waste and donation pickups by verified recyclers and NGOs at 0% fee. We report kilograms collected by type.
In part: 10.2 (inclusion: no fee, Aadhaar-only sign-up, Hindi first) and 8.10 (digital pay). Targets: sdgs.un.org.
The fair pay check
The customer pays the partner directly, and our fee is a small flat amount per job, set in the partner fee schedule — not a share of the price. Jharkhand's minimum wage for unskilled work is ₹501.92 a day (₹62.74 an hour over 8 hours). A partner's rate is what she and her customers agree; the impact we must prove is filling her day. That is the number we will report.
What we do not claim
- Partners are independent contractors, not employees. We do not claim to provide social security.
- We count partners who earn, and what they earn — not sign-ups.
- We launched in October 2026. Until our first quarter's numbers exist, this page is intent and a measurement plan, not results.
- Our quarterly impact reports will include safety incidents, deactivations and disputes beside the good numbers.
What comes next
Jhatpat is bootstrapped. As we raise funding, the first thing it pays for is accident and health cover for active partners. Then savings and credit built on partners' payout history, an independent rating of our claims, and the same model in more Tier-3 cities.
