Descriptiontext

Haqdarshak Empowerment Solutions Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2015 and headquartered in Pune, India, operates a social benefits platform that connects underserved Indian citizens, gig workers, micro-businesses, and farmers with eligible central, state, and municipal government welfare schemes. The company reports unlocking $2.2 billion (INR 18,800 crore) in benefits across 7.6 million Indian families and 112,000+ small businesses, supported by a network of 52,000+ trained community agents (70% women) operating across 30+ states and union territories.

The core technology is a modular SaaS/API-based stack comprising three products: a citizen-facing Haqdarshak mobile app, an Agent App used by field facilitators, and the registered Yojana Card — a QR-based identity and benefits-tracking instrument. Underlying these is an AI-driven multilingual and multimodal (voice/text) benefits discovery system, an ML-based eligibility engine cross-referencing 5,000+ welfare programs in 14+ local languages, and conversational interfaces integrated with government grievance redressal platforms. Embedded finance (insurance, credit, financial tools) is layered at the last mile.

Revenue is generated across four streams: B2G professional services (analytics, scheme configuration, facilitation for government clients), B2B/enterprise subscriptions (analytics and insights for CSR and corporate clients), CSR partnerships (financial inclusion and ESG programs), and platform facilitation fees (e.g., transaction fees from welfare camps organized for gig economy platforms such as Zomato and Blinkit). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is primarily quote-based. Total disclosed funding to date is approximately $3 million across rounds from 2017–2023, with impact-oriented investors including Acumen, Beyond Capital, Impact India Investment Partners, and Village Capital.
