An Amazon for expert services. Built right.

Imagine you want a wedding photographer who will deliver what you have in your head, or a fitness coach who would design your meal plan while keeping huberman’s protocol in mind, or a decorator knows the proper way to do a Bengali gaye holud.

It is 2026 and it is still painful as ever to find these people. A lot of phone calls and explaining the same requirement to all these providers, vetting them and then there is the fear of you know, you booked the provider and then they don’t show up or do a really bad job. we are fixing these issues with mytribe.

You message us on WhatsApp, AI reads your requirement and asks you a lot of questions. It also helps you visualize whatever ideas you have in your head and matches you with the right provider. Our curation team checks the matches before they are sent to you. We will be giving only the right few vetted providers, In a custom proposal with the real prices and availability. You can pick and hire them directly, and payments will be in escrow until the work is done.

Then why are we building mytribe now? The answer is simple. AI has finally gotten smart enough to understand a user’s requirement as good as a person.It also has a deep understanding of all the profiles of the providers at scale and can match you with the right provider based on your requirement with real judgement. None of this was possible 5 years ago, and mytribe is what the future looks like for India’s expert services.
