Dignity should never be optional — especially for the hands that keep our homes, societies, and cities running. We help India’s informal workers get recognized, protected, and paid with respect.
Workers of India is built on a simple belief: that dignity should never be optional, especially for the hands that keep our homes, societies, and cities running. Our mission is to empower India’s informal workers by giving them access to tools that recognize their labor as professional, valuable, and protected.
Through initiatives like helping workers register for the e-Shram card, offering guidance on government welfare schemes, and enabling the creation of basic digital micro-contracts, we aim to shift the balance from dependency to dignity, and from silence to structure.
This is not just about paperwork, it’s about power. By formalizing what has long been informal, Workers of India strives to create a future where every worker knows their worth, speaks their rights, and works with pride.

Be VISIBLE. Get recognized as a worker in India’s economy. This card gives your work a name, your job a status, and your rights a voice.
