City Leek– was inspired by the true story of a widowed mother.

How city leek started- I’m opening my heart to share the deeply personal story behind **City Leek**  a startup born from pain, purpose, and a promise to create a better future for those who feel forgotten. This isn’t just a business; it’s a mission to restore dignity, hope, and opportunity for millions. Let me take you through the journey, step by step.

A Heartbreak That Changed Everything

A few years ago, my world was shaken by the story of someone very close to me – a relative whose life turned upside down in an instant. She was happily married, raising a one-year-old child, when tragedy struck: her husband, the sole breadwinner, passed away unexpectedly. Left alone, she faced a mother’s worst fear – how to feed, educate, and provide for her child. As a homemaker with no professional skills, she felt trapped, her dreams for her child slipping away.

In desperation, she turned to the only work she knew: cleaning homes. Sweeping floors, mopping, and scrubbing for hours, she poured her heart into it. But when I learned she earned just ₹10,000 a month after backbreaking labor, my heart broke. That wasn’t enough to afford her child’s education, proper nutrition, or even basic stability. Her story isn’t unique – it’s the quiet struggle of countless women and underprivileged families in India, bound by poverty because they lack the skills or opportunities to break free.

A Vision Born from Empathy –  

Her pain stayed with me. I couldn’t stop thinking: Why should someone so hardworking, so full of potential, live like this? Why can’t everyday skills like cleaning be transformed into dignified, well-paying careers? That’s when the idea for ‘City Leek’ was born. I imagined a world where people like her could learn professional skills in just a few weeks – using the right tools, techniques, and safe chemicals – and earn ₹30,000–₹40,000 a month. Enough to send their kids to good schools, save for the future, and live with pride. This wasn’t about charity; it was about empowering people to rewrite their stories.

Building a Dream with Bare Hands – 

I didn’t come from money or privilege. Starting City Leek meant starting from scratch, with nothing but determination and a burning desire to make a difference. Through sheer hustle and some classic Indian “jugaad,” I managed to build a basic website and app. Today, City Leek offers services like:

• Full House Cleaning
• Kitchen and bathroom cleaning
• Sofa and carpet cleaning
• AC servicing
• And more essential home services.

We’re also planning to expand into plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, and painting – skills that don’t require years of training but can change lives forever. Our model is simple yet powerful: provide free or low-cost training, equip workers with professional tools and knowledge, connect them to clients through our platform, and ensure they earn fair, life-changing wages.

The Bigger Dream – 

My vision is bold: to skill and employ 1 crore people over the next 10 years, especially women and underprivileged individuals who society often overlooks. City Leek is about solving two problems at once:

For customers: Reliable, professional services that make their lives easier.

For workers: Dignified jobs that give them the power to dream big for themselves and their families.

Stuck but Not Defeated: The City Leek Journey – 

But the journey hasn’t been easy. I had planned to sell some family land to fund advertising and expand our reach, so that more people could know about us and more workers could find jobs. Unfortunately, that deal fell through — and we got stuck at a critical moment.

I may be stuck, but not defeated.

Because when the purpose is pure and the mission is bigger than yourself, giving up is never an option.

I truly believe that with the right support — investors, partners, or even kind-hearted people who believe in empowerment — we can turn this small spark into a powerful movement.

I hope more people will join me on this journey, so together we can make City Leek not just a startup, but a story of strength, hope, and change.
