Nia.one, a full-stack platform designed for India’s gig and blue-collar workforce, has secured $2.4 million in seed funding from Elevar Equity. The investment will accelerate the expansion of the company’s Niadel hubs across major cities and high-demand employment corridors, integrating jobs, housing, and essential services into a single ecosystem for gig workers.

Founded in August 2024 by Sachin Chhabra and Lt. Col. Pushkar Raj, Nia.one operates a unique phygital model that connects migrant and gig workers with verified job opportunities, affordable housing, daily meals, mobility support, and community networks. Currently serving 3,000 workers across 50 cities, the platform aims to scale to over 8,000 workers in the coming quarters.

Niadel hubs are strategically located within one kilometer of large logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing worksites, ensuring easy access to opportunities and amenities. Highlighting the platform’s impact, Jyotsna Krishnan, Managing Partner at Elevar Equity, said Nia.one’s integrated approach strengthens worker retention and enterprise productivity.

The platform’s architecture; Flow (jobs), Studio (housing), Tribe (community), and Rafiki (AI assistant), creates a sustainable, capital-efficient model for India’s growing gig economy.
