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 $2.4 million in seed funding from Elevar Equity. 

The proceeds will be used to expand the company’s Niadel hubs across major cities and employment corridors, combining jobs, housing, and daily essentials for gig workers under one integrated ecosystem.

Founded in August 2024 by Sachin Chhabra and Lt. Col. Pushkar Raj, Nia.one operates a phygital model that connects migrant and gig workers to verified jobs, affordable housing, meals, mobility, and community services. 

The platform currently serves 3,000 workers across 50 cities and plans to scale to over 8,000 workers in the coming quarters.

The hubs are located within one kilometer of large worksites in logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing zones.

Jyotsna Krishnan, Managing Partner at Elevar Equity, said, “Nia.one focuses on gig workers as entrepreneurial households. Its integrated model improves both worker retention and enterprise performance.”

Nia.one’s architecture combines four elements, Flow (jobs), Studio (housing and essentials), Tribe (community), and Rafiki (AI assistant), creating a sustainable, capital-efficient system for India’s fast-growing gig economy.
