MehnatLink is site software for builders and contractors in India — labour, measured work, materials, machinery, daily progress and BOCW compliance in one place. It gives a builder one place to post work, bring verified workers to the gate, mark attendance with QR codes and badges, record measured work measurement by measurement, keep a rupee-to-rupee wage ledger, and produce the compliance data an employer needs. Workers use a free mobile app to find work, see their verified earnings and receive payment from the builder directly.
What MehnatLink is — and is not (also: MehnatLink matches material, machinery and service suppliers to sites — the builder orders and pays the supplier directly; MehnatLink records the indent, the quote and the delivery.)
MehnatLink is a technology service provider. The builder is the employer; a labour contractor (thekedar) is the immediate employer of the people he brings. MehnatLink is never the employer and never the wage payer.
Wages move directly from the builder to the worker's own bank account or UPI. MehnatLink records the payment; it does not hold or route wages.
MehnatLink charges builders a monthly subscription and, on the paid plans, a small service fee on verified work recorded through the platform. Workers never pay.
