Railway Sahayak — Informal Workforce FinTech Grid

Financial Inclusion & Platform Architect
Informal Workforce FinTech Grid
Executive Context

Licensed railway Sahayaks and station vendors earn in cash, lack formal credit histories and frequently borrow from station moneylenders at punitive rates.

The Challenge

Embed identity, settlement, credit and insurance into the daily work flow without adding friction for workers or passengers.

Developed an embedded micro-finance, digital identity, and per-trip accidental insurance blueprint for 15,000+ unbanked railway porters (Sahayaks) and last-mile station vendors—replacing informal high-interest station moneylenders with instant UPI settlements and verified credit histories.
