At just 23, Abdul Waris Langoo is proving that you don’t need to wait for the “right time” to build something meaningful. Growing up in Sopore, Waris saw firsthand how families struggled to find reliable household help while many skilled workers in his community remained underemployed. When he moved to Bangalore for his studies, these challenges became even clearer in the chaos of city life.
That’s when he decided to take action.
Waris founded Woostaa with his friend Aryan Raj, creating a platform that connects families with verified, skilled workers for household services like maids, cooks, drivers, and deep cleaning. But for Waris, Woostaa is not just a startup; it’s a mission to bring dignity and consistent income to workers while giving families trustworthy, stress-free solutions for daily living.
“I saw families stressed about finding someone they could trust, and skilled workers eager to work but unable to find stable opportunities,” Waris shares. “Woostaa became our way to bridge that everyday gap while giving workers the respect they deserve.”
Currently operating in Bangalore, Woostaa allows families to hire house help in as little as 10 minutes, with workers reaching your doorstep ready to assist. The platform offers flexible hourly and monthly plans, ensuring services are accessible, transparent, and fast, making it easy for families to get help exactly when they need it.
Aryan Raj, who manages financial and operational strategy, emphasizes, “We didn’t want Woostaa to become just another expensive app that underpays workers. Our focus has always been on creating a fair, affordable, and reliable system for everyone.”
Waris’s vision goes far beyond Bangalore. He plans to expand Woostaa’s services to Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai, and eventually to Kashmir, generating local employment opportunities while helping families in the Valley simplify their daily lives.
At a time when many young people leave their hometowns to secure jobs for themselves, Waris is building a platform that creates jobs for many others while providing peace of mind to families across India. His journey is a reminder that even from a small town like Sopore, a determined vision can create ripples of change across the country.
