WhatsApp is the trust layer
Users should not have to learn a booking app just to fix a leak or fan. Kappaa starts from the channels Kerala already uses.
About Kappaa
A home service platform designed around Kerala's real behaviour.
Kappaa connects users to verified local workers through a staff mediator model. The website captures the request; people handle the trust.
3 products
Public PWA, staff dashboard, and super admin panel in one Next.js application with role-based routing.
Why it exists
The gap is not service demand. The gap is usable trust.
Self-serve marketplaces assume users want app installs, slots, package tiers, and independent booking decisions. Kappaa assumes many users want to send a message and speak to a responsible person.
Try the request flowStaff own every request
A real mediator confirms the problem, coordinates the worker, records the quote, and keeps the job traceable.
Workers are verified manually
Phase 1 keeps worker access internal. Staff choose from a worker database instead of exposing public worker profiles.
Operations before automation
No automated slots, no worker app, no public rating marketplace. The platform exists to make the human model scalable.

Control live services, coverage zones, staff, workers, commission, and growth visibility.
Phase 1 focus
Start district by district. Keep every job accountable.
Kappaa begins in Kerala with active coverage zones. Address validation prevents false promises, while staff mediation keeps each request owned from intake to commission logging.
Coverage zones controlled by admin
Worker verification stays internal
Commission tracked per completed job
Communication stays call/WhatsApp first
