While many young minds leave their hometowns in search of better opportunities, Animesh Priyadarshi chose to stay back and rewrite Bihar’s future. His brainchild, HumToHaiNa, is not just a startup—it’s a social revolution designed to tackle one of the state’s deepest crises: unemployment and mass migration.

In this blog, we explore how Animesh’s bold vision and on-ground action are fueling a quiet revolution in Bihar, empowering youth, revitalizing local economies, and building self-sustained communities.

The Unseen Crisis: Migration and Unemployment in Bihar

Bihar has long been plagued by an exodus of talent. Lakhs of workers migrate every year to cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru in search of livelihood. This migration leads to:

Loss of skilled workforce in villages
Breakdown of family structures
Overburdened cities with low-wage labor
Stunted local economies

Despite the state's rich cultural and agricultural heritage, economic stagnation and lack of organized employment opportunities have trapped generations in a cycle of dependency.

Who Is Animesh Priyadarshi?

A native of Bihar, Animesh Priyadarshi is a visionary entrepreneur driven by a single question:
“Why should we leave our land to survive, when we can build our future right here?”

Armed with this philosophy, he launched HumToHaiNa (HTHN)—a local-first initiative aimed at creating meaningful employment within Bihar through organized services, digital platforms, and skill-based development.

The Birth of HumToHaiNa: A Startup with a Heart

Launched with minimal resources and a deep emotional connection to Bihar’s soil, HumToHaiNa began as a simple service aggregator. But it quickly grew into something more:

What is HumToHaiNa?

A digital platform connecting customers with skilled local workers
A B2B service provider for institutions, companies, and events
A social enterprise with a mission to create jobs, not just profits

Core Services Offered:

Skilled Labour: Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tile fitters
Household Services: Cooks, drivers, domestic helpers
Event Support: Caterers, decorators, tent service providers
Transport Solutions: Verified cab services, bike taxis
Construction Support: Civil contractors, painters, masons

Every service provider on the platform is locally sourced, verified, and trained, creating trust while generating employment at scale.

Building Jobs, Not Just Connections

HumToHaiNa doesn’t just offer a job board. It creates a jobs ecosystem.

1. Skill Identification

Local youth are mapped according to existing skills—electricians, drivers, cleaners, etc.—and given opportunities to list on the platform.

2. Micro Training & Support

Basic digital literacy and customer service training is provided, even for semi-skilled workers.

3. Job Allocation & Performance Tracking

Via mobile apps, real-time bookings, and location-based assignments.

4. Weekly Payouts & Transparent Earnings

Workers are paid promptly, with clear records—building trust and retention.

A Platform Built for Bihar, by Bihar

What sets HumToHaiNa apart from big-city platforms like Urban Company or JustDial is its Bihar-centric design:

Hindi-first interface for ease of access
Low-data mobile app compatible with rural smartphones
Offline support staff to assist in rural areas
Tie-ups with local panchayats and NGOs

HumToHaiNa is rooted in the culture, limitations, and aspirations of Bihar—making it effective where big tech fails.

Empowering Women & Marginalized Workers

One of the most powerful impacts of HumToHaiNa has been its inclusion of women, Dalits, and minority communities in formal workspaces.

Home cooks from villages now earn through verified gigs
Single mothers and widows get flexible jobs in nearby towns
Dalit artisans are listed with identity dignity and verified protection

With every booking, HTHN chips away at caste bias, gender roles, and economic barriers.

Economic Multiplier: How Local Jobs Boost the Local Economy

Each job created by HumToHaiNa doesn’t just benefit one person—it starts a ripple effect:

A driver’s income helps his children attend school
A local caterer’s earnings support local farmers and vendors
A tile fitter’s wage fuels demand for construction materials from local suppliers

This bottom-up growth model is slowly rejuvenating Bihar’s small towns and semi-urban clusters.

Growth Milestones So Far

5,000+ jobs generated in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, and Gaya
300+ verified service providers onboarded
1 lakh+ services fulfilled across home, event, transport, and construction sectors
Zero commission from workers—a 100% income ownership model

And this is just the beginning.

Tech for Good: The Digital Platform Behind the Vision

HumToHaiNa runs on a proprietary mobile-first platform with key features:

Location-based worker discovery
Instant service booking
Reviews and ratings for trust
Multilingual support (Hindi, Maithili, Bhojpuri)
Admin dashboards for quality control

This tech backbone allows HTHN to scale across districts without losing personal connect.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Ravi Kumar, a driver from Darbhanga, returned home from Delhi during the pandemic. With no options left, he joined HumToHaiNa. Today, he earns more than before—without leaving his family.

Sangeeta Devi, a home cook from Gaya, used to work as a part-time maid. Through HTHN, she now gets verified home cooking jobs and earns double with dignity.

These are not just stories—they’re evidence that change is happening from the ground up.
