This effort is part of a broader spectrum of migration support and services offered by the Aajeevika Bureau. With a vision to secure dignified lives for labour-dependent communities, Shram Sarathi's mission revolves around two key objectives.

Operating via rural and semi-urban branches in underserved areas, Shram Sarathi operates both at the origin and destination points of migration.

Working within Aajeevika Bureau's broader migration support services, Shram Sarathi has crafted tailored products and channels to meet workers' financial needs within their migration contexts, amalgamating financial and migration support services for their benefit.

Its mission is to enable financial inclusion of these communities through financial services, helping them increase incomes, manage cash flows, and reduce migration costs.
