The Sama startup, launched in Singapore, will also work in Bangladesh to stand by the class of people who get lost in debt before going abroad for work. They are applying for registration with the Bangladesh government.
A news item about ‘Sama’ app was published on BBC on Friday (November 13). This information has been known from the report of the international media.
More than three and a half lakh expatriate workers now work in Singapore. Most of them are citizens of Bangladesh and India.
The BBC says the workers fell into debt before setting foot in Singapore. The first few months, sometimes years, take them to repay that debt.
Under Singapore law, employment agents cannot take more than two months ’salary from an employee. But Singapore cannot control this issue in other countries. So even after the workers go to the country with jobs, the agents of their own country have to pay for months.
The Singapore-based ‘Sama’ startup started its journey last April to free the workers from this problem. From here, employees can find the job of their choice. For this they have to pay maximum two months salary.
Differences with other companies: Co-founders Nemanja Grujic and Kirtan Patel told the BBC they charge a fee from the companies. Explain to the workers where they are working. But others take ‘fees’ from the workers. This puts pressure on them.
Kirtan Patel says, “We believe that workers give more output if they work without worrying about debt.”
Nemanja Grujic informed about coming to Bangladesh. “We are going to work in Bangladesh and India to reduce workers’ dependence on foreign agents,” he said. I am applying for registration for this. ‘
Job seekers can submit all the documents by contacting the company’s WhatsApp.
One thousand 500 people have registered in the app so far. Here workers can keep their salaries in a digital wallet. Through this money can be sent directly to the country.
Through the app, a young man named Zahid Ali from Bangladesh got a job as a driver in Singapore.
Zahid, 26, was looking for another job after his five-year tenure in the country expired.
“They helped me get a good job,” Zahid said.
A man named Chua Chi Pin hired someone in their family business a few days ago through this app. He told the BBC he wanted to recruit more staff through Samar.
