HE IS MY LABOURER🛠️
Oh no the lockdown has been implemented again. We have to stay at home and only stay at home, NO. Wait. Have you thought about the daily waged laborers in such a crucial time? You might have seen a lot of people standing alongside the road waiting for long to get some work. How did they make both ends meet? Did their children get three meals a day?
I went to a grocery store last Sunday and ran across a long queue of hopeless and helpless people waiting to do something to fill their stomachs.
One of them was standing at some distance, I went there and talked to him. We had the following conversation:
Me: “For how long you have been standing here?”
The laborer: “I don’t remember the exact time, but I had my breakfast, and now it’s lunchtime.”
Me: “Did you find anything to do or reached out by any customer?”
The laborer: “No”
Me: “Is it this particular day that you are not able to find some work?”
The laborer: “I did not even find some work yesterday, I had some ere yesterday, but that was not sufficient for my family.”
A part of me was crying so loud on the way back home with hands full of groceries. The increasing heartbeat and nerve cells colliding within the brain want me to help them.
This conversation gives rise to my startup in which I will be helping the daily waged laborers (plumbers, blacksmiths, carpenters, etc.) to easily access the customers and vice versa. I will be developing a platform where all the laborers will register themselves and the one who needs them will have the access to the nearby laborer. There will be a set perpetual percentage from the amount the customer will pay for the start-up.
