Workers change nothing.Managers get everything.
The voice notes and photos your crew sends on residential project sites become a searchable record. No new app.
The site engineer flagged a rebar shortage on Tuesday. Rebar arrives Thursday, slab work resumes Friday.
Site coordination runs on phone calls and WhatsApp voice notes that nobody writes down. When the manager leaves, the project loses its memory, delays surface weeks late, and sub-contractor disputes have no evidence to settle them. Obolus turns that same behavior into a searchable, queryable record.
How it works
Four layers, running on the site communication that already happens.
Passive ingestion
WhatsApp voice notes, geotagged photos, recorded calls, free text. No new behavior required from the worker.
Retrieval
The manager asks in plain language and gets an answer with a citation back to the source. Never unattributed.
Monitoring and allocation
Live task state, and a recommendation for who is best suited for incoming work. The manager always decides.
Worker query resolution
Worker doubts get answered from project documents first, escalating to the manager only when unresolved.
What Obolus is not
Worth being direct about, since most tools sold into this space oversell.
Not surveillance.
We don't track worker location beyond the site photos and calls they already send.
Not autonomous assignment.
Obolus recommends a worker for the job. The manager decides, and can override every time.
Not payroll or statutory compliance.
It doesn't touch wages, PF, ESI, or labour law filings.
Not a replacement for RERA filing.
It doesn't file anything with regulators on your behalf.
A trusted second-in-command for the site manager.
The market
Hyderabad and the wider Telangana residential market is dense with mid-market developers running three to twelve active projects at once, each coordinated the same way: phone calls and WhatsApp. That is the beachhead. The same pattern holds across residential construction anywhere in India.
The team
Founded by Sri Dakshith Nimmagadda, based in Hyderabad, close to the sites this is built for.
Technical depth
Multilingual speech recognition, retrieval answers grounded in a cited source, and every manager override becomes a training signal.
Getting started
Your site, configured in days and live on day one, no long rollout.

We visit your site and see how coordination actually happens today, calls and all.
We configure your site
Languages, project documents and the sub-contractor list get loaded in. Usually done within a week.
The manager starts asking questions
Workers keep sending voice notes exactly as before. The manager gets a searchable record from day one.
One price. No tiers to compare.
Priced per site, because that's how your projects actually run.
Per project site
Up to 50 workers on the site.
- Passive ingestion of voice notes, photos, calls and free text
- Retrieval with citations back to the source
- Monitoring, task state and allocation recommendations
- Worker query resolution from project documents
Running more than one site? Each one is billed separately at the same rate.
