Project Hero operates a digital platform that connects construction workers and contractors, aiming to formalize and add transparency to the fragmented Indian construction labour market. Its product captures employment and payroll records digitally and leverages mobile phones to reduce reliance on middlemen and improve hiring and engagement. The company reports over 400,000 construction workers on its platform and says it has placed over 3,000 workers to projects. The co‑founders—Satya Vyas, Pukhraj Grewal and Raghu Chopra—are IIT Roorkee graduates who previously ran a general contracting company for over five years. The startup plans to use new funding to scale its technology, onboard more talent on the platform, and expand its market presence. Project Hero positions itself as addressing productivity losses, high attrition and hiring opacity that delay construction projects by bringing transparency to workforce management.
