TrustCircle – connect with ‘trusted’ service providers
7 years ago Shalini BIn the hustle and bustle of daily life, finding a reliable service provider is no less challenging than hiking a mountain and in times like these is when each one of us looks to our trusted sources either for helping us out or for recommending reliable service providers.
Doctors, tutors, accountants, carpenters, plumbers etc.. we all need them on a daily basis. The problem is where to find the right help? Are they reliable enough? Are they the right person to solve our problem? The internet has loads of listings and reviews today, but how many of them are actually trust worthy? And if you move to a new city/locality, the problem becomes even more challenging.
Jatin, Gauri and Gaurav are on a mission to solve this really big consumer problem by leveraging technology. Trust Circle is a mobile app (available both on Android and iOS) that provides a platform to get tried & tested referrals for services from the ‘people you trust’. TrustCircle’s service is free unlike other options available in the business of providing utility services.
With TrustCircle’s app, one can easily search for service providers and professionals that their social circle has recommended by experience. One can read through the reviews authored by their friends and family and be assured of the validity and authenticity before choosing a service provider. Once you employ a service, you can add your review and rating to help others. When you come across a good service professional you can recommend/share that contact within your circle so that your social circle can also avail those services being rest assured that it is recommended from a trusted source. This way your circle of trust keeps expanding with time.
Jatin is a product management specialist and has about 2 decades of experience in product leadership. He has about 12 years of experience as a Principal Product Manager at Microsoft and is currently working as a VP products at Big Data Co. Gauri specializes in product architecture and design and has a prior experience with Microsoft. She is currently working at a Fortune 500 Product Company. Gaurav Kakkar is a marketing specialist and has almost 13 years of experience in telecom products, pricing and Goto market.

Trustcirlce also allows you to access trusted contacts recommended by friends & family at the touch of a button using your smartphone. You can look through the multiple contacts recommended by people in your social circle and choose a contact that fits your requirement by looking through the ratings and reviews suggested by the people you trust.
To get started simply install the app and share the contact details, rating and reviews for the people you have learnt to trust over time. These trusted references are immediately shared with your friends & family.
