Recommended by the Directorate of Industries & Commerce, Kashmir
HelpRush has been recommended as an onboarding pathway for PM Vishwakarma beneficiaries in Kashmir, with credentials verified by the Directorate. The recommendation is in writing, on official letterhead, dated 20 August 2025.
This page exists so anyone — customers, pros, investors, the press — can see exactly what the Directorate has recommended, what we have committed to, and what the badge on a verified profile means. We describe nothing more than the letter says.
The source document
The letter, in full.
Issued by Mr. Khalid Majeed (JKAS), Director, Industries & Commerce, Kashmir, to Dr. Fayyaz Muhammad, CEO & Founder, HelpRush. Reference number DI&C-(K)/PLG/2025/(CC:7716661).
Copied to the Principal, Government Polytechnic for Women, Srinagar; the Vishwakarma scheme in-charge; and the SL-PMU Resource Persons deployed under the scheme — with weekly onboarding progress reporting expected.
“I recommend badging of PM Vishwakarma beneficiaries who are on-boarded or shall get onboarded on your platform in future. This approach will not only boost the visibility and credibility of the registered artisans and craftspeople but also enhance their access to the market, build customer trust, and promote sustainable livelihoods. The Directorate will facilitate the verification of the credentials of such beneficiaries as and when required.”
