In the words of the founder of Just.Jobs, Kishore Beniwal:
“It is not easy to run such a startup, especially in a country like India where white-collar jobs are always preferred but I know the importance of this platform and have launched it to empower the informal workforce and instead of disrupting the sector, choose to organize it with Just.Jobs.
