Tuskus MVP Offering: The MVP is laser-focused on progress tracking, solving the most common pain point for small contractors: lack of visibility and constant miscommunication at sites.
* Tuskus Core (Contractor App – MVP)
- Projects Module (Progress Tracking only):
- Contractors can record daily site updates.
- Share work status with clients and teams in real time.
- Maintain a simple digital log of project milestones.
- Replace scattered WhatsApp updates and manual notebooks.
* MVP Service:
- Clarity for Contractors: A single place to track and prove site progress.
- Reduced Delays: Clear records minimize disputes, stoppages, and costly rework.
- Professional Edge: Contractors appear more reliable and credible to clients.
- Simple Adoption: Mobile-first, easy-to-use, designed for even non-technical users.
The MVP is deliberately minimal: one feature, one app, one clear value—turning daily site updates into structured progress tracking. This creates the foundation for broader modules (finance, bids, vendor network) while delivering immediate, tangible impact to contractors.
Startup Description
Tuskus is building the digital backbone for India’s small and mid-sized contractors—the most underserved yet critical layer of the construction industry. Despite powering over 80% of the sector, these contractors still manage projects with pen, paper, and WhatsApp, leading to chronic inefficiencies, rework, and cost overruns of up to 20–25%. This fragmentation drains billions of rupees annually in wasted resources, delayed payments, and lost opportunities.
Tuskus solves this by providing an integrated platform designed specifically for small contractors. The Core app enables them to manage bids, projects, and finances in one place—cutting waste, improving cash flow visibility, and strengthening reputation. The Bids app gives contractors access to verified work opportunities, while project managers gain confidence in hiring reliable partners. Together, these apps form the foundation of the Tuskus Network, a system that creates transparency, trust, and efficiency across the ecosystem.
By addressing a problem that scales from individual job sites to the entire $650B Indian construction market, Tuskus is positioned not just as a tool but as an operating system for growth. Our mission is simple: empower millions of small contractors to build smarter, faster, and more profitably—unlocking massive value for themselves and for the industry that literally builds India.

Business Model
Tuskus follows a SaaS model designed to scale with contractor adoption. The MVP focuses on progress tracking—a single, high-frequency pain point that drives daily use and builds credibility with clients. Contractors can use the app free for limited projects, with subscription tiers unlocking unlimited projects, downloadable reports, and collaboration features.
* Customer segment: small and mid-sized contractors who still rely on WhatsApp and notebooks to manage sites. These contractors lose time and money to disputes, delays, and miscommunication; Tuskus gives them a simple mobile tool to track and share progress transparently.
* Go-to-market: direct outreach through networks, referrals, and partnerships with project managers. Clients begin to demand visibility, pushing contractors toward adoption. This creates a viral pull—the more contractors use Tuskus, the more others must follow to stay credible.
As adoption grows, Tuskus expands from progress tracking into accounting, bids, and vendor management, layering new revenue streams onto the same user base. This positions Tuskus not just as an app but as the contractor’s operating system, capturing long-term value across India’s $650B construction sector.
