How it works

From "I need work" to paid, in four steps

  1. Say the job you want

    Tap the mic and speak: "Whitefield-la plumber velai". Velaiyo understands and finds it.

  2. Apply in one tap

    See the pay, place, hours and a voice note from the owner. Then apply.

  3. Start work, share progress

    On the day, tap Start work. Send photos or a voice note as the work goes on.

  4. Get paid, directly

    Your employer pays you by UPI or cash. You confirm it in the app, or tell us if it did not arrive.

Why people choose Velaiyo

Simple enough for anyone. Fair for everyone.

Voice first

Search, apply and describe the work by speaking. Every long form has a mic.

Your language

English, தமிழ், తెలుగు, ಕನ್ನಡ, മലയാളം and हिंदी, switchable any time.

Your number stays private

Chat and call inside the app. Other people never see your phone number.

Wages go direct

Employers pay workers straight, by UPI or cash. Velaiyo never holds anyone's wages.

Checked, not guessed

Businesses verify a GST number or trade licence. Brokers must be licensed.

Inside the app

Designed for one hand and a busy day

Big tap targets, short words, and nothing you have to read twice.

Everything about a job, on one screen

Pay, place, start date, hours and how many people are needed, plus a voice note from the owner explaining the work.

Job details screen: rewire a 2BHK flat, 900 rupees a day, with a voice note from the owner

Introduce yourself in 30 seconds

Record a short voice intro in any language. Listen back, record again, or keep it. Employers hear you before they hire.

Recording a voice intro: live sound level, 4 of 30 seconds, and a stop button

Velai means work in Tamil. We built Velaiyo so finding it is as easy as asking for it.

Most daily-wage work is still found by word of mouth, by waiting at a corner each morning, or through a middleman who takes a cut. A day without work is a day without pay.

Velaiyo puts nearby jobs in a worker's hand, in the language they speak, with the money going straight to them. Employers get people they can see, hear and rate. Brokers get tools to run their teams honestly.

Why we built Velaiyo

Your next day of work is a sentence away.

Say the job you want. Velaiyo finds it nearby, in your language.
