How it works

Three steps. You see every price before you agree, and you only pay for an offer you accept.

Step 1
Describe it, free
Say what you need in a sentence or two. Posting costs nothing.
Step 2
Get offers from people who’ve done it
Taskers who have done this before send an offer with their own price. Ask questions, then pick one.
Step 3
Pay, and it’s held until done
Accept an offer and pay. Taskly holds the payment until you say the work is done.

Good questions

The things people ask before they post in India.

01
What does career guidance and mentorship cost in India?
Most of it falls between ₹500–2,500, depending on how much you need. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.
02
What should we share before a career guidance call?
The student's recent marks and subjects, the courses and colleges you are considering, your budget, and what the student enjoys doing. A list of questions from parents also saves time in the call.
03
What should I share with a career guide after a low NEET score?
Your NEET score and category, your mock test scores across the year, your weakest subjects, your budget, and the cities where you can study. Be honest about how the last year of preparation felt.
04
What should an SDE-1 bring to a mentoring call?
Your last appraisal feedback, a short list of features you shipped, and one design or pull request you are unsure about, with company code and names removed. Specific examples get specific advice.
05
How does paying work?
Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.
06
Who are the Taskers?
People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
