17-Year-Old Akshat Mittal Started Bharat Shramik To Bring Unemployed Migrants Back To Work
The Covid-19 lockdown caused millions of migrants to move from large cities to their villages and result in loss of livelihood. With rising unemployment rate and financial crisis, Akshat Mittal has started a service called Bharat Shramik to bring these migrant laborers back to work.
The country is now in the midst of Unlock 2.0 and many builders, factory owners, families and businesses want to resume their operations, but are unable to do so because of employees working out of cities. This created a 2-way demand, supply gap.
“I was touched by the news of starving and dying laborers. While there are jobs and unemployed workers, there is no mechanism to link them together. Bharat Laborer Akshat Mittal says that is trying to do so. Mittal started working on an idea two weeks ago to use an easy solution with some mentors.
In fact, this is Mittal’s second brush with entrepreneurship. When the national capital first introduced an even-odd scheme, they launched a service to help Delhiites find a ride. Mittal was then 13 years old. Odd-even.com received much traction and media attention and was later acquired by Orahi.
Indian workers use matchmaking technology to help unemployed workers (especially blue-collar) who moved closer to their homes to find jobs. On Bharat Shramik, workers can register by calling the helpline number +91 8822 022 022, and employers can find suitable workers in their area by registering at www.bharatshramik.in. The helpline is operated by Knowlarity, a leading communications solutions provider.
The multilingual helpline number includes a simple 3 step process – the workers start by selecting their language, then, they select the job they want to work in and then they want to type in the pin code of the area Search for work where they want.
This data is stored in a database and presented to the appropriate employers through a web portal. With more than 800 workers and five large employers currently interested, Mittal says that India workers are now gaining traction at a fast pace.
“If you are also an employer who is reducing your workforce and unable to reopen your business, go to www.bharatshramik.in and register. If you are an NGO working with migrant workers, you can register them through the helpline number- 8822 022 022 to increase your chances of getting employment.
Going forward, Bharat Shramik plans to create a new skill map of India, where the number of unemployed migrant workers with their skills can be mapped in districts and states. This will help the government to introduce more focused schemes (eg PM Poor Rojgar Yojana) and programs to restart the economy.
