The problem

50 crore workers. Zero performance infrastructure.

The world's largest workforce runs on memory, mood, and guesswork. No records, no fairness, no reason to try harder tomorrow.

Invisible Work

No record of daily output. No accountability. No way for a worker to prove, or a manager to see, what was actually contributed today, this month, this career.

Subjective Supervision

Managers rely on memory and mood. Scaling fairness across hundreds of languages, regions, and work types is impossible without data infrastructure.

No Motivation System

No connection between effort and pay. No career ladder. No reason for the best worker on the site to keep being the best worker on the site.

This was not possible to solve without AI.Now it is.

Before AI
  • 22+ regional languages and hundreds of dialects, no shared interface
  • Low-literacy workforce locked out of every text-based tool
  • Thousands of work types with no common measurement standard
  • Human supervision as the only, unscalable, source of truth

Impossible to scale.

With AI, Now
  • Voice and image AI understands every worker, in their own language
  • Automated goal structuring, no reading or writing required
  • Unified scoring across every sector and region
  • Photographic proof replaces memory and mood

Scales globally.

The opportunity

The largest underserved workforce in the world.

88% of India's workforce operates informally, supporting 82% of the total population. Digitally paid, digitally reachable, and completely unmeasured.

Global TAM. India first, then everywhere blue-collar work exists.

The shift

Work, invisible at ground level.

Farmers, builders, cleaners — effort that leaves no record the moment it's done.

The shift

Economies rise on their backs.

Cities grow around them. The workers who build them stay unseen.

The shift

Now every hour of effort has a signal.

Voice and photo, scored by AI. 50 crore workers, one phone away.

How it works

A cricket scoreboard for daily work.

Kaam Ki Baat, the gamification engine: every worker speaks their update and snaps a photo. AI does the rest, from goals and tracking to scores and rewards, in a daily cycle that feels like a live match.

Voice + Image

The worker speaks in their language and snaps proof of work. No typing, no forms, no literacy barrier.

AI Goals

AI structures the day's targets automatically. Clear, achievable, in the worker's own words.

Tracking

Photo-verified progress at every workflow stage. The record builds itself.

Scoring

Daily, task-level, and worker-level scores. Objective, comparable, fair.

Rewards

Score converts directly into earnings. Effort finally has a visible price.

Celebration

Rankings, streaks, and recognition. Every single day feels like match day.

Voice and image first

Workers communicate in their native language. AI structures every process. No literacy required, ever.

Photo-driven proof

Visual evidence at every stage of the workflow. Memory and mood are replaced by a verifiable record.

Captain and worker model

One captain supervises 8 to 10 workers. A unit structure that scales like a sports league, not a bureaucracy.

Score equals pay

Earnings tied directly to scores. Effort finally has a visible, immediate connection to compensation.

Score equals accounting

Payment disputes resolve themselves through data transparency. The scoreboard is the ledger.

Live like sport

Real-time visibility creates the competitive energy of a live cricket match, applied to daily work.

The product

Two windows into one day's work.

The same work, shown two ways: the karigar speaks and snaps on their phone, the MSME watches every task move on one live board.

For karigars
Karigar phone app: a Your Acharyas list with mentor cards, an active task, and video stories to learn from

Speak, snap, done. A worker's whole day, in their own language.

For MSMEs
OmniPulse dashboard for the MSME: a Kanban board of every task with an Ask MahAcharya button in the corner

Every team, every task, on one board that updates itself.

one tap, that's all

Then anyone just asks.

The board runs itself, so the questions get simple. Click Ask MahAcharya, type a line, and it reads the whole board back to you.

The mentors

Meet the Acharyas guiding every karigar.

Behind the app is a bench of AI Acharyas, each on call in the worker's own language. They teach and coach through the day, so help never waits on a supervisor being free.

The Work Olympiad

IPL for blue-collar work.

Multiple skill verticals across three geographic levels create hundreds of live leaderboards. Neighborhood rivalries become state pride become national heroes.

Heritage

OmniDEL.ai didn't start in 2026. It started 30 years ago.

Founded by Mahacharya Shri Sourabh J. Sarkar, the OmniDEL methodology blends Eastern and Western pedagogies with mass education and media: TV, radio, mobile, events, concerts, games, and on-ground classrooms.

1996

The methodology

OmniDEL framework created: four learning stages, Awakening, Discovery, Development, and Practice, delivered across every channel that reaches real people.

2012

NSDC recognition

Named India's Best Learning Methodology by the National Skill Development Corporation.

2015

Tata Trusts investment

Million-dollar grant to scale. Behtar Life and skill-mitra programs empower workers across 10 clusters, with 450+ mentors in 60+ cities.

2026

The AI evolution

The original framework solved what and how. Voice and image AI solves reach: language-agnostic access at every literacy level.

Why us

The rare combination this problem demands.

Deep education heritage, frontier AI capability, and boots on the ground. A stack no competitor can assemble quickly.

30 years of skilling and education

Deep media-technology expertise that predates digital disruption. Mass education delivered across TV, radio, mobile, and classrooms.

Cutting-edge AI builders

Among the top 0.1% of Claude Code users globally. Production agentic systems and AI scoring engines are live today, not planned.

On-ground execution

500+ supervised field teams across India. Ground-level knowledge of how informal work actually happens, not boardroom theorizing.

The KarmYog foundation

450+ trained mentors and 15+ years of documented life-skills scaling. A proven worker-to-leader philosophy, now amplified by technology.

We don't just use AI. We build with it at a level that puts us among the most advanced AI practitioners in the world.

Defensibility

Five compounding moats.

Each one strengthens the others. Together they lock in a first-mover position that cannot be replicated after the fact.

Captain network effect

Every new captain brings 8 to 10 workers. More captains means exponential worker growth built into the platform's structure.

Reputation portability

Scores follow workers across jobs, unlocking credit, training, and better pay. Leaving means leaving your record behind.

Gamification lock-in

Scores, badges, rankings, and streaks create sunk-cost engagement. Workers keep their historical progress, and keep playing.

Data moat

Cross-sector performance data enables predictions, pricing power, and an AI advantage no competitor can reconstruct.

Geographic density

Critical mass in one city triggers exponential network growth, and locks competitors out of that geography for good.

Leadership

Built by operators, not observers.

Three decades of education, frontier AI engineering, field operations at scale, and global data-platform experience.
