India's First Co-Operative Platform for Domestic Workers
mZOYA was born out of a simple conviction: the women who clean our homes, cook our meals, and care for our families deserve dignity, fair wages, and genuine ownership—not predatory middleman commissions.
Why the Gig Economy Failed Domestic Workers
Traditional home service aggregators take 30% to 50% cuts from domestic workers, treating them as disposable independent contractors with zero healthcare, no pension, and abrupt algorithmic deactivations.
At mZOYA, we inverted the model. Built in formal partnership with the Tamil Nadu Domestic Workers Welfare Trust (TNDWWT), our platform guarantees:
- •80% of every rupee paid by customers goes straight into the domestic worker's bank account via instant UPI.
- •3% platform profit royalty funds the TNDWWT Community Welfare Chest for worker children scholarships, emergency maternity care, and hospital cover.
- •Zero predatory lock-ins: Workers set their own local cluster schedules and have peer arbitration rather than machine deactivations.
