Book a time slot Rolling out
Pick a time that suits you. The pro confirms it.
No more calling five times to ask "when can you come?". Electricians, plumbers, salons, tutors and other partners publish their open hours in Galiwala. You see the free slots, send a request, and get a clear yes, a no, or a few other times to choose from.
For customers · the Galiwala app
- 01
Tap "Book a time"
On a partner's profile, pick the service, such as Fan installation · 1 hour. You see how long it takes and the starting price.
- 02
Choose a day and a free slot
Only the partner's open hours are shown. Slots that are already taken are greyed out, so you never ask for a time that's gone.
- 03
Add your address and send
For a home visit, add your address and an optional note ("bedroom ceiling fan"). Your request goes to the partner straight away.
- 04
Get an answer
You get a notification when the partner confirms, declines, or suggests up to 3 other times. Pick one of those with a single tap.
For partners · the Galiwala Partner app
- 01
Switch on booking
Choose which services can be booked and how long each takes, plus a break between visits, how much notice you need and how many days ahead people can book.
- 02
Requests land in Bookings
Each request shows the service, time and area. You see a warning if it overlaps a visit you've already confirmed.
- 03
Confirm, decline or suggest
One tap to confirm. Busy then? Suggest up to 3 other times. Want no back-and-forth? Turn on auto-confirm for free slots.
- 04
Block time, keep your day clear
Block off leave, supplier visits or lunch. Your calendar shows confirmed visits by day, with a reminder before each one.
Fair for both sides
- No double bookings: a request doesn't hold the slot. Whoever the partner confirms first gets it, and everyone else sees it as taken.
- Time to travel: partners set a break between visits, and Galiwala keeps those minutes free.
- Your address stays private: the partner sees only your area until they confirm the visit.
- No waiting forever: unanswered requests and suggested times expire on their own, so you can book someone else.
- Plans change: either side can cancel with a reason, up to the cut-off the partner has set (1 hour before by default).
- Only in their area: home visits can be booked only inside the area the partner serves, and both sides get a notification for every change.

Post a need, get offers Rolling out
Say what you need and your budget. People nearby offer to do it.
Not sure who to call? A small fix today, help shifting furniture, a tutor for the weekend. Post it once with your budget and how urgent it is. Partners near you, including skilled people without a shop, ask questions and send their price. You pick the one you like and continue in chat.
For customers · the Galiwala app
- 01
Post what you need
A title, a few details, a budget range and how soon: today, this week or flexible. Mark it if the work is at your home.
- 02
Answer questions
Partners can ask things like "Which floor?" or "Do you have the part?". Your answer is shown to everyone who bids, so offers are fair.
- 03
Compare offers
See each partner's price, when they can come, their rating and whether their ID is verified. Up to 15 offers per post.
- 04
Pick one and chat
Accept one offer and the others are closed. Agree the details in chat, then book or pay the partner directly.
For partners · the Galiwala Partner app
- 01
Open "Find work"
See posts within 5, 10, 25 or 50 km of your spot. Good for anyone who can do many kinds of jobs, with or without a shop.
- 02
Ask before you price
Ask the customer about budget, timing or details. Their answers are visible to every partner on the post.
- 03
Send your price
One offer per post, with when you can do it and a short message. You can change or withdraw it while the post is open.
- 04
Get chosen
You get a notification when the customer accepts your offer, and you continue in chat.
Safe for both sides
- No numbers in posts: phone numbers, e-mails, UPI ids and links are blocked in posts, questions and offers. You chat once you pick someone.
- Verified for home visits: only partners whose ID is verified can offer to work at your home.
- Your address stays private: posts show your area only, never your exact location.
- Report and block: anyone can report a post, question or offer, or block a person. Reported items are hidden and checked by our team.
- Prices are offers: nothing is paid inside a post. You agree the final price with the partner.
- Fresh posts only: a post closes after 7 days, or as soon as you pick someone.
