Why Kooli Pani

Hiring local work shouldn't run on
missed calls and memory.

For decades, daily-wage work has been arranged through phone calls, middlemen and word of mouth. It works — until it doesn't.

The old way

  • Finding trusted workers means calling around for days
  • Wages agreed by word of mouth — and disputed later
  • No record of who is working, where, or at what stage
  • Updates scattered across calls, texts and hearsay

With Kooli Pani

  • Browse verified profiles with skills, experience and ratings
  • Every job posts its ₹/day wage before anyone applies
  • Assignments tracked from assigned → started → completed
  • One chat per job, with progress updates woven in

Everything in one app

Built like a tool.
Finished like a promise.

Nine quiet, dependable things Kooli Pani does so that finding and managing work simply… works.

OTP login

One phone number, one 6-digit code. No passwords to forget, no email required.

Role-based onboarding

Tell us whether you work or hire — the whole app shapes itself around your answer.

Job discovery

Open jobs near you, with wage, location and dates visible before you tap anything.

Applications & offers

Workers apply in one tap. Contractors send offers that can be accepted or declined — cleanly.

Assignment tracking

Every job moves through clear stages — assigned, started, completed. Everyone sees the same truth.

Built-in chat

One conversation per job, with system updates woven into the thread. No number-hunting.

Verification

Phone, selfie and ID checks build profiles that people can actually trust.

Ratings & repeat work

Finish well, get rated, get rehired. Good work builds a reputation that travels with you.

Profile completion

A guided meter shows exactly what to add next to become more visible and more hireable.

One app, two sides

Whichever side of the work you're on.

How it works

From hello to hired,
in eight small steps.

The same clear path, whether you're finding work or offering it.

  1. 1

    Sign up with your phone

    A 6-digit code by SMS. No passwords, no forms.

  2. 2

    Choose your role

    "What brings you here?" — work, or workers.

  3. 3

    Complete your profile

    Skills, experience and area — or your business details.

  4. 4

    Post or find work

    Jobs go live with wage and dates upfront.

  5. 5

    Chat

    Align on details inside the app — one thread per job.

  6. 6

    Assign or accept

    Offers become assignments with a single tap.

  7. 7

    Track progress

    Assigned → started → completed. Both sides see it.

  8. 8

    Complete & rate

    Ratings close the loop — and open the next door.

Trust & safety

Designed around trust, from the first tap.

A marketplace only works when both sides feel safe. Kooli Pani earns that safety with structure — not promises.

No middlemen. No hidden fees. Just two people agreeing on honest work.

Phone verification

Every account belongs to a real, reachable number — verified by OTP.

Profile verification

Selfie and ID checks add a human layer of confidence to every profile.

Clear job stages

Open, assigned, in progress, completed — both sides always see the same state.

Ratings that matter

Only completed work can be rated — reputations are earned, not typed.

Profile completion

A visible meter nudges every profile toward being complete and credible.

Direct communication

Chat lives inside the job — recorded context, no lost phone numbers.

Your next job is closer
than you think.

Join Kooli Pani today — post work or find it, chat, track and get rated. Free for workers and contractors.

Answers, kept short.

What is Kooli Pani?

A local labour marketplace app for India. Workers find daily-wage jobs near them; contractors hire trusted people — with chat, job tracking and ratings built in. "Kooli pani" simply means wage work, and that's exactly what it's for.

Who is it for?

Two kinds of people. Workers — painters, masons, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tile workers, helpers and more. And contractors — from individuals hiring for a single job to businesses hiring crews.

Is it free?

Yes. Downloading the app, creating a profile, posting jobs and applying to them are all free.

How do I sign up?

With your phone number. We text you a 6-digit code — no passwords, no email. Choose whether you work or hire, complete a short guided profile, and you're in.

Is it available on mobile?

Yes — Kooli Pani is built mobile-first for Android, in English, Hindi and Malayalam. The Google Play listing is on its way; a direct APK is available meanwhile.

How does verification work?

Every account starts with phone OTP verification. Profiles grow stronger with a selfie and ID verification, a completion meter, and ratings earned from completed work — so trust is visible before anyone is hired.
