Hustl

Hustl is a hyperlocal gig-work platform based in Chennai, India, positioning itself as "India's social gig platform, built for the hustle." It connects workers seeking part-time shifts with verified local businesses, showing pay, timing, location, and tasks before a shift is booked. The platform is currently in public beta and live in Chennai, with a worker flow that includes free sign-up via phone OTP, document verification by the Hustl team, shift booking, QR check-in, OTP check-out, two-sided ratings, and payout to a linked UPI ID after each shift. Hustl emphasizes no joining fee and no agency cut for workers, and it includes gamified elements such as rank, badges, and referrals. The company is built by a small founding team running real pilot shifts in Chennai. Shoaib Sait is the founder, with a background in frontline hospitality and retail operations, and Mohamed Razim Meeran is co-founder and CTO, leading product and engineering. Hustl's payment gateway is not yet integrated, so payouts are currently released manually by the team, typically within 2–5 minutes and no more than 10 minutes after shift completion and rating submission. The platform also publishes guides and articles on money, safety, and gig-economy topics for its users.
