“Can a gig-worker-focused EWA and credit platform become the default embedded financial-wellness layer for India's blue-collar workforce by routing credit and savings through the platforms that already pay them?”
KarmaLife was founded as a credit-line product for blue-collar and gig workers in India, operating under Onionlife Private Limited. It pioneered a subscription-based, interest-free credit model leveraging real-time gig-platform payment and behavioral data. Over time it expanded from a pure credit-line to a full earned-wage-access (EWA) platform, adding personal loans, DAS (Deduction at Source) auto-repayment, and insurance/savings modules, positioning itself as the embedded financial-wellness layer for India's gig-platform ecosystem.
Karmalife is headquartered in India.
