It is highly challenging for a startup to earn a considerable reputation at an early stage. Share a success story of one of your applications that have raised Dhiyo’s value in the industry.
Dhiyo has helped a lot of informal sector users to get their dream jobs. Just 90 km from Bengaluru, 19-year-old Ramesha’s whole technology world exists on his smartphone. While searching for jobs he came across our app which helped him to get a driver’s job in Bengaluru in his native language Kannada. Another 21-year old, Raju Parmar, from a small village in Uttarakhand, a wannabe chef wanted to make it big in the culinary world. But he was confused and unsure as to where to relocate and how much he will earn as the process is long-winded, often taking weeks or months. So he goes through a middleman who charges very high fees and binds him to one restaurant for a long time. With Dhiyo, he was not only able to check out the prevailing wages in any Indian city for his area of work, but also apply & reapply before he actually migrates to a new place.
