Founded in 2016, Haqdarshak has built a technology platform and app to connect Indian citizens with their eligible welfare schemes. A network of entrepreneurs called Haqdarshaks extend and enable this service to the citizens. The technology simplifies the existing literature on Government schemes and benefits into rule-based algorithms that match the citizen’s profile with eligible schemes.

The Haqdarshaks are regularly trained to use the platform and extend it as a service to the citizens. By charging a fee for closing the loop and thus enabling end beneficiaries to access the benefits they are eligible for, the Haqdarshaks earn additional income.
