The entity
Who, legally, we are.
HelpRush is the product. Horfay Taqnia Private Limited is the company that builds it. Both names are correct; they are not interchangeable, and databases that carry only one of them are describing the same organisation.

If you are checking us against a corporate-records site, expect a lag on the address. The registered office has been moved to the Rangreth STPI premises where the company actually works, and the filing is with the Registrar of Companies; mirrors like ZaubaCorp and TheCompanyCheck will keep showing the older S Pora address until they re-scrape. Neither is wrong — one is just out of date.

Correct usage is “patent filed” or “patent pending”. Indian applications publish long before examination concludes, so no grant should be implied, by us or by anyone citing us.
Recognition
What the Directorate actually said.
On 20 August 2025 the Directorate of Industries & Commerce, Kashmir recommended HelpRush as an onboarding pathway for PM Vishwakarma beneficiaries.
It is a recommendation. It is not a tender, a contract, an equity relationship, or an exclusive appointment, and it should not be described as any of those. The full letter and a precise reading of it are published.

Horfay Taqnia Private Limited is a DPIIT-recognised startup — the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Government of India. Recognition number DIPP202829, issued 8 May 2025.
Recognition is a register entry, not a grant, an investment, or an endorsement of the product. The number is published here precisely so it can be checked against the Startup India register rather than taken on trust.
Boilerplate
Copy this. It is approved.
The standard paragraph for the end of an article, a database entry, or a directory listing. Use it verbatim and you cannot get us wrong.

Preferred descriptors
- “real-time marketplace for local services”
- “workforce infrastructure”
- “parallel dispatch” (not “AI matching”)
- “live in Srinagar” (not “live across J&K”)
Please avoid
- “patented” — the correct word is filed
- “government-backed” — it is a recommendation
- “India's largest” anything — we are one city
- “funded” — HelpRush is bootstrapped
