MY VENTURE.

Fixly logo
Fixly
Empowering the Hands That Build

Fixly is a worker-first home services platform built to modernize India's maintenance industry. Instead of intermediaries taking a large share of technician earnings, Fixly ensures up to 95% of every payment goes directly to workers through a transparent, direct-to-worker marketplace.

95/5 Revenue Model
95% of every payment stays with the technician, funded by a lean 5% flat platform fee.
P2P Bidding
Customers and verified technicians negotiate directly, with no hidden intermediaries.
Verified Excellence
Every "Fixly Pro" undergoes multi-step certification and background checks.
Economic Dignity
Building digital earnings histories so unbanked workers can access formal banking.
