“Key governance areas impacting every citizen’s life, made pleasant and cost effective, would allow us to channel our energies towards a more meaningful purpose. HelpdesQ will support millions towards this.”

There was a time we were frustrated by innumerable dealings with government departments for small aspects of living and exhausted with complex interactions while handling property and various governance matters. Super-tedious legal follow-ups, opaque processes and uncontrollable systems added grief. A few of us were living out of the country or had to travel frequently or simply could not afford time. This made it difficult to handle or troubleshoot situations. After incurring huge costs while juggling and working delays, we analysed the loopholes eventually. This is when we realised our know-how to plan, negotiate and manage resources when it came to legal and administrative work. It is now our expertise that you can avail.
