Beenext Capital invested Rs 22 crore as part of the overall funding round.
The company said that it will use the capital to strengthen its tech platform, improve employer-candidate matching, expand into high-growth markets, and drive innovation.
The platform connects workers across over 50 job categories, including delivery, retail, telecalling, field sales, and warehouse operations, with employers seeking reliable talent.
The company operates within an over 100 million blue- and grey-collar workforce segment.
“This funding comes at the perfect time as we enter our next growth phase. Blue- and grey-collar workers are the backbone of India’s economy,” said cofounder and chief executive Nilesh Dungarwal.
WorkIndia’s clients include major gig-economy companies Zomato, Swiggy, Ola, and Urban Company.
It last raised $12 million in January 2023 in a round led by SBI Holdings, Yamauchi No. 10 Family Office (the founding family of Nintendo), Persol, and Insitor.
Commenting on the investment, Sanchayan Chakraborty, partner at Aavishkaar Capital, said, “Finding productive jobs for the large and growing blue-collar workforce is critical for sustained growth and social stability in India.”
“The team has executed with discipline, grown responsibly, and has now achieved profitability,” Teruhide Sato, founder at Beenext, said.
In September, Vahan, a recruitment platform for blue-collar workers, raised $10 million in a funding round led by existing investor Khosla Ventures.
