About TaranQ

Kerala's creator–business deals happen in DMs and WhatsApp groups today — no vetting, no price discovery, no payment protection, and no way for either side to prove what a collaboration was worth.

1

We're building the trust layer this market is missing

Verified creator and business profiles, a transparent Trust Score, and escrow-backed payments — so a collaboration is documented and protected from the first message.

2

Built for micro and nano creators, not just macro influencers

National platforms skip deals under ₹50,000. That's most of Kerala's creator economy — and exactly who TaranQ is built around.

3

Kerala-first, by design

One language, one media culture, a dense small-business base — a market national, English-first platforms structurally can't serve well.

For Creators

Great creators stay invisible

Without a platform built for local discovery, talented creators never reach the businesses that would actually hire them.

Barter suppresses monetisation

"Come eat free and post" is the norm; rates are inconsistent and undocumented.

For Businesses

No price transparency

The same creator quotes different prices to different businesses, with no benchmark to check against.

Payment risk both ways

Businesses pay advances and get ghosted; creators deliver and don't get paid.

Two profiles. One trust layer.

Pick the side you're on and set up your profile in a few minutes.

The Trust Score

Built on trust, not follower counts.

Five inputs feed every score on TaranQ — the same score businesses use to shortlist, and creators use to unlock visibility.

1

Profile completion & validation

How fully a profile is filled out and confirmed.

2

Followers vs. content engagement

Checked against real engagement data, not self-reported numbers.

3

Collaboration volume

Verified collaborations, tracked automatically on TaranQ.

4

Resource Centre tasks & certificates

Learning completed toward professional growth.

5

Business ratings & reviews

The single largest input — real feedback after real collaborations.

Knowledge tests that count

Short assessments on content marketing, branding, and sales & conversion — pass them to earn certificates that build your Trust Score.

Tasks that build visibility

Structured activities that improve your profile and standing, so growth doesn't only come from waiting on collaborations.

Campaign-specific benchmarks

Businesses can open a short, time-limited test to shortlist creators for one specific campaign. These never affect your overall Trust Score.

Simple, predictable pricing

Every business plan includes escrow support. Creators join for free.

Creators and businesses each fill in a short profile — the essentials TaranQ needs to make a first match.

Identity and profile checks unlock your badge; your Trust Score builds from there.

Match through recommendations or search, collaborate with escrow protection, and rate each other afterward.
