Taski Marketplace
Despite Bangladesh currently having one of the highest GDP growth rate in the world in 2019, the wealth is not being transferred to the poor. Poor people’s economic vulnerability is still exploited by the rich. Unemployment is increasing too.
Introducing "TASKI". Taski is a two-sided marketplace that connects ‘TaskPosters,’ people who need help, with ‘Helpers,’ a network of pre-approved and background checked individuals, who have the time and skills needed to complete the listed task.
Taski is primarily aimed towards inclusion of Service Providers living in bottom of Social Pyramid, using technology to increase service area and pay rates, allowing them to earn 15-20,000 Bdt a month easily.
Its impacts are : Poverty Alleviation, Reducing Unemployment, Economic Inclusion, Protecting the poor from economic exploitation, Access to information, internet and digital literacy, Boosting the economy, Community development and Addressing SDG Goals 1,8,10 and 11.
Bangladesh currently has a 8.2% GDP growth rate. It is hailed as the "Fastest growing country of rich people". (Wealth-X,2019) BUT Wealth is not being transferred to the poor. Poor people’s economic vulnerability is still exploited by the rich. The already huge Unemployment problem is only surging. Our Solution addresses this issues.
We are primarily aimed at the bottom 20% of the socio-economic class of Bangladesh who have capacity to take care of everyday petty tasks. We are aimed at the economic inclusion of Service Providers living in bottom of Social Pyramid. Using our location based algorithm we improve the service area and ensure fair pay rates of Service Providers, allowing them to earn 15-20 thousand Bdt a month easily.
As a spin-off effect, we require the poor to have access to an internet enabled phone, for which we train them in digital training centers, helping to improve digital literacy. Our end goal is boosting the economy and community development.
