Nia.one raises $2.4 Mn in seed round from Elevar Equity

Nia.one, a full-stack platform for gig and blue-collar workforce, has raised USD 2.4 million in its seed funding round from Elevar Equity.

The funding will help expand Niadel’s hubs, which provide jobs, housing, and essential services in one ecosystem. The company plans to scale these hubs across major work zones in the NCR, Bengaluru, and Pune, placing each within a kilometer of key sites in logistics, warehousing, e-commerce, and services.

The capital will also enhance Niadel’s proprietary AI platform, Rafiki, which connects workers with fair job opportunities, supports retention, and provides access to housing, meals, and financial services.

"At Nia.one, we are building the missing physical layer between the road and the rented bed," said Pushkar Raj, Co-founder and COO. "Every Niadel hub is designed so that a worker can walk to work, return to a safe, affordable bed, access hot meals, and upgrade their life without debt traps or brokers."

"Infrastructure for migrant workers has been treated as an afterthought for too long," said Sachin Chhabra, Founder and CEO. "We have proven that our model delivers 80 percent retention and improves with scale. Our focus now is to expand city by city and show that a strong network of Niadels can build better lives for workers and stronger outcomes for enterprises."
