The startup is targeting what it estimates to be a $23 billion manufacturing workforce opportunity in India.
The funding comes amid growing activity in India's digital blue-collar workforce market, with competitors like WorkIndia and Nia.one also raising capital recently.

Factrika connects manufacturers with skilled and verified factory workers based on skills and availability.
Workers can accept shifts digitally, while the platform manages attendance, payments, and digital work histories.
The startup claims it can deploy workers within two hours and maintains a show-up rate of more than 90%.
Its customer base includes companies such as Lenskart, Munjal Kiriu, Asahi India Glass, Jubilant Foods, and Epack Durables.
The platform has more than 10,000 registered workers across over 20 skill categories.
The company claims its model allows workers to improve their earnings by 20% to 30% through skill progression.

Deepen technology capabilities and expand the industrial workforce network across more manufacturing clusters in India.
