Kooley: A Life of Hardship and Hope
Millions of passengers pour into India's railway stations daily, where chaos is at its peak with overcrowded platforms. In this sea of humanity are the unsung heroes- coolie, kuli, kooley, culy; who help carry the weight of the journey for these passengers. Their job is arduous, hazardous, and thankless. Behind all that toil lies a life of a k filled with hardship, uncertainty, and an absence of dignity. For most coolies in the Indian railway system, it is such a reality.
The Miseries of Kuli Life Without Porter Buddy
Imagine a coolie, kooley, no matter how tired he feels carrying a mass load—sometimes more than half his body weight—through the crowded, chaotic platforms of a busy railway station despite how painful the task may feel, a kuly must carry on. The reality for most of them is harsh.
Unpredictable and Meager Wages for Kuly
A coolie's life is unpredictable. A culy's income for one day depends on the passengers he or she can handle and the size of tips that the passengers may or may not give. Sometimes he might be lucky and able to feed his family properly; other times, sometimes, he earns nothing and hardly enough to sustain himself to go about his daily life.
Backbreaking Work of a kuly with No Safety Nets
The life of a coolie in India is the toughest one as the coolies have to work day and night, carrying heavy luggage on long distances. This wears out their bodies. No matter how backbreaking their labor is, they don't have proper safety gear or support. Injuries are common, and chronic pain is a daily struggle. They continue working through exhaustion, often without the proper resources or care.
The Lack of Respect for Coolie
The kuly are important for the functioning of the Indian Railways, but they hardly enjoy dignity. They are perceived as laborers who put in the hard work in ensuring that the rail service runs smoothly, without any form of recognition. In that respect, the lack of dignity and respect gives them an invisible status in society.
No Platform for Change
Kooley hardly has a platform to express their grievances. There is no proper system for their support or advocacy. They silently keep working, tolerating exploitation and working conditions that nobody should be subjected to.
Porter Buddy: The Life-Changing Kooley Service Provider
Enter Porter Buddy, a seamless platform that not only makes travel easy for passengers but to transform the lives of coolies. It is a beacon of hope for those who have long struggled in silence.

Gone are the days of uncertain tips and unpredictable workloads where coolies have to survive on. Porter Buddy now pays coolies fairly for all their hard work, every job being paid fairly that brings much-needed financial stability to the lives of culys.

Porter Buddy doesn't just offer fair pay for coolies but improves work conditions and health support overall. With a simplified, easy-to-book system provided by the platform, searching for work is no longer an issue as coolies needn't roam the crowded stations anymore to look for passengers on the platforms. Additionally, Porter Buddy provides better equipment and safety measures that alleviate the physical strain on coolies' bodies and enable them to work in relatively better conditions.

For the first time, coolies are getting respect and recognition. Porter Buddy has created a platform where they are treated like professionals: people who significantly contribute to the railway system. Coolies are thus given fair compensation, recognized, and have a clear framework by Porter Buddy, bringing dignity back to their jobs. Coolies are now not just faceless workers; they are integral elements of the travel experience. Their efforts are being valued, and they are being dignified.
