Pre-launch preview · Opening in Dhaka first

Nearly 7 crore people keep Bangladesh working. 84 in 100 have no record of it.

At dawn they wait at the roadside to be picked for a day's work. They build the roads, the homes, the shops. At the end of the day the cash changes hands, and nothing shows they were ever there.

Kormik is a record that's yours. Every day of work recognised, paid and protected.

About 6.9 crore people in work; 84% of them informal, about 5.8 crore. BBS Labour Force Survey 2024.

Work today

Every morning, a lottery. Every workday, unrecorded.

The money changes hands. The proof never does. When the pay comes short, when the next contractor asks for experience, when someone gets hurt on site, there is nothing to point to.

3 in 4

wage earners are paid only in cash.

The worker was never missing work. They were missing a record.

Everyone else built a service on top of the informal economy. Kormik builds the record underneath it.

The same people, the same crews, the same phone calls. Plus the one thing the work never had: a memory.

They work.

A day on a site, in a home, in a shop. The same work, the same crew, the same speed as today.

It's recorded.

That day goes on record, in the worker's own name. Not a slip in a pocket. A record that lasts.

It's theirs.

The record belongs to the worker. It goes where they go, from job to job and year to year.

The product

Their first record of work, ever.

Who they are, what they do, and every day they have worked. In their own name, in their own hands.

  • ✓Something to show when the pay comes short
  • ✓Proof of experience for the next job
  • ✓Proof they were at work, the day it counts
