Safety is the product.
Verification is not a feature we added. It is the reason Initi8Now exists, and it runs before any student sees a listing.
Five checks before a gig reaches you.
Order matters here — each check gates the next. A listing that fails any step never goes live.
- Business identityCIN/GST or registration proof, plus a working business domain. Individuals are verified with government ID.
- Human review of the listingA person reads every gig. Vague scope, no stated rate, or “fees payable” language gets rejected.
- Escrow fundingThe employer transfers the budget before applications open. No funds, no listing.
- Location and safety checkOn-ground gigs are mapped to a verifiable address. Late-night and isolated-site work is not accepted.
- Post-gig scoringStudents rate employers. Two credible complaints suspend the account pending review.
If you see this anywhere, it is a scam.
These apply to any platform, not only ours. Share them with a friend who is job hunting.
- A registration or training fee. Legitimate work never charges you to start.
- Payment “after the trial period” with no written scope.
- Chats moved to a personal number straight after the first message.
- Requests for your OTP, UPI PIN or bank login. Nobody legitimate needs these.
- Your ID document asked for over WhatsApp. KYC happens inside the app only.
- Urgency and countdowns. “Only three seats left” exists to stop you checking.

Something felt wrong. Tell us.
Reports are read by a person, not a queue bot. You can report a gig you saw anywhere — it does not have to be on our platform, and you do not have to be a member.
What we will do with it.
- Within one working day
A person reads your report and replies to say what happens next.
- If the employer is on Initi8Now
The listing is suspended while we investigate, so nobody else applies.
- If it is elsewhere
We tell you how to report it to the cyber cell and what evidence to keep.
