Rajan Murugan grew up watching his father fix pipes in their Chennai neighbourhood. He learned the trade the same way — by watching, then doing. By the time he was 22, he was good at it. But finding consistent work was a different story.

"I used to stand near hardware shops hoping someone would hire me for the day," Rajan says. "Some days I'd earn ₹300. Some days nothing."

The turning point

A friend told him about Working Class in early 2024. Rajan was sceptical — he'd heard of apps that promised work but delivered nothing. But he signed up anyway.

"The registration was simple. They verified my skills, did a background check, and within two weeks I was getting job requests on my phone."

Building a reputation

Rajan's first month on Working Class earned him ₹18,000 — more than double what he'd been making. He focused obsessively on ratings, always arriving on time, always cleaning up after himself, always explaining what he was doing to the customer.

Within six months, his rating was 4.9. Customers started requesting him specifically. His monthly earnings crossed ₹40,000.

Today

"Last month I earned ₹62,000," he says, smiling. "I bought a scooter. I'm saving for my daughter's education. I have a schedule. I have dignity."

Rajan's story is one of thousands. If you're a skilled professional looking for consistent, fairly-paid work, join Working Class today.
