In conversation with ET Edge Insights, The Times Group, Managing Director Sarabjit Singh argues that India's informal workforce is one of the country's largest economic blind spots, not just a social challenge.
Akal builds technology and on-ground support to simplify compliance, widen access to social security and bring more workers into the formal economy.
Sarabjit Singh joined industry leaders on the panel, where the conversation moved beyond growth metrics to value, compliance and collaboration.
“Value for people drives sustainable growth.”
He also shared how even 10 minutes a day with AI can change how leaders think and operate.
Director Bakshin Kaur joined the panel hosted by Onsurity and raised the question most wellness conversations skip: who are we actually including?
For India's blue-collar and off-roll workers, wellness means being paid on time, with PF, ESI and healthcare in place. That is why TankhaPay treats compliance and wellness as one job.
“The colour of someone's collar should never decide the quality of their safety net.”
