Why partner with Vortex

Your expertise, valued and paid.

Homes and businesses that want a certified expert can choose one. Be the one they choose: near them, well rated, and paid for your work.

Customers who asked for an expert

When customers sign up they can choose a certified expert, for a fee they see first. They pick by rating, near their PIN code.

Your fee, paid to you

Today's standard band: ₹1,000 remote, ₹2,500 with a visit, ₹4,500 with net metering. The customer pays you directly; Vortex takes no cut.

Offers with a clock

Each offer waits four hours for your answer. Unanswered, it goes to someone else and is noted on your record.

Customers stay protected

Nobody acts on a customer's project without the code sent to their phone, and a customer assigned to you stays with you.

Add net metering

Once certified for net metering, you can take a customer's net metering too, at today's ₹1,000 per kW.

Grow your standing

Ratings take you from probation to active, silver and gold; your area's manager can make strong experts lead experts.

How work reaches you

Offers that respect your time.

An offer arrives with the customer's area and the scope. You have four hours to accept or decline. Busy? Decline and it moves on; left unanswered, the miss is noted on your record.

An example offer: a new customer at PIN 226010 wants a visit, for your fee of ₹2,500 at today's rate. You have four hours to accept or decline it.

  • Accept. The customer is with you, and the fee they saw is fixed for them.

  • Decline in time. No penalty. The customer is free to choose another expert.

  • No reply in 4 hours. The offer is released so the customer can choose another expert, and the missed reply is recorded.

An example, in time-lapse. Four hours is today's setting.

Your fee

Shown to the customer before they choose you.

Your fee depends on the scope and your area's band. The customer sees it before choosing, and pays you directly when your work is done. It is a service fee, earned whether or not they buy.

Trust

Every customer says yes by code.

Before you act on a customer's project, they get a code on their phone. It keeps customers in control, and it keeps your work clean.

An example: you ask to change a customer's help from a visit to a visit with net metering, and the new fee of ₹4,500 is shown to them first. Vortex sends a code to the customer's own phone. They read it to you, and only then does the change apply.

  1. You ask
    to change something on the customer's project
  2. Vortex sends a code
    to the customer's own phone
  3. They read it back
    and only then does the change apply

An example. Nobody acts on a customer's project without the code Vortex sends to their phone, and every agreement is recorded.

How you join

Six steps to your first customer.

Your area's manager takes you through them, and you learn alongside an experienced expert.

  1. 1

    Apply with a code

    Your details here and a code to your mobile. Your area's manager hears at once.

  2. 2

    Screening call

    A short call about your experience, languages and the PIN codes you cover.

  3. 3

    KYC and checks

    Aadhaar, PAN, bank and a selfie, checked by your area's manager, plus references.

  4. 4

    Terms and training

    You accept the terms when you apply; training covers the subsidy and our rules.

  5. 5

    Three shadowed customers

    You work three customers alongside an experienced expert.

  6. 6

    Live in the app

    You start on probation with your own login, and offers start arriving.

The terms

The terms, in plain words.

Money first. You accept the full terms when you apply, with the code sent to your mobile.

How you are paid

  1. 1

    The customer pays you directly

    Your fee goes from the customer straight to you. Where possible they pay by UPI or bank transfer into your own account. If they pay cash, give a written receipt. Vortex takes no cut, and never collects or holds your fee.

  2. 2

    Your fee is shown first, then fixed

    Fees come from Vortex's rate card. Today's standard fees: remote ₹1,000, visit ₹2,500, visit plus net metering ₹4,500. The customer sees your fee before choosing you. Once you accept an offer, its fee is fixed. Rate changes apply only to new offers.

  3. 3

    Paid when each piece of work is done

    Remote: when the customer has Vortex's design and quote and you have gone through them together. Visit: when the site visit is done. Net-metering part: half when the application is filed with the DISCOM, half when the net meter is installed.

  4. 4

    Earned whether or not they buy

    Your fee is for your advice. Once a piece of work is done, its fee is due even if the customer never buys a plant. Nothing is due for work you did not do.

  5. 5

    DISCOM charges: actual cost, no mark-up

    For net metering, collect only what the electricity company (DISCOM) actually bills, and only when it falls due. Pay it to the DISCOM and upload the receipt to the case within 2 days. Return any unspent money within 7 days. It is the customer's money, not your fee.

  6. 6

    Loan customers: Vortex pays you by bank

    If the plant is paid for with a loan arranged through Vortex, Vortex pays your net-metering fee and the DISCOM charges out of the loan. It pays by bank transfer to your checked account, within 7 days of enough loan money arriving, and the bank reference (UTR) shows in the case. Your remote or visit fee is still paid by the customer.

  7. 7

    Only your fee, nothing else

    Never take money for Vortex's price, materials or care plans: customers pay those only to Vortex. Never ask for a fee before the work is done, never charge twice, and never accept money from another partner. Vortex charges you nothing to join.

Reply to offers within 4 hours

Accept or decline each offer within 4 hours (today's setting). After that, the offer is released so the customer can choose another expert, and the missed reply is recorded. Declining in time carries no penalty.

Your customers stay with you

Once a customer is with you, Vortex's telecallers cannot change their record. Moving them to someone else needs approval from a senior Vortex person who did not ask for the move. Fees for work you have finished stay due.

Customer's code first; honest advice

Act on a customer's project only after they agree with the one-time code (OTP) sent to their phone. Use Vortex's price and never change it. Never promise a subsidy amount, date or approval. Tell the customer about any link you have with an installer, lender or DISCOM.

No bribes, no fakes, stay safe

Never offer a bribe or "speed money". Never use a false paper, photo or receipt. On visits, do no electrical work and do not climb onto an unsafe roof. Breaking any of these rules is a serious breach.

Ratings decide your standing

You start on probation (a trial stage). With 5 or more ratings in 12 months: 3.5+ is active, 4.3+ is silver, and 4.7+ with at least 20 ratings is gold. Under 3.5, or any penalty point, means warned: you are not shown to new customers. 10 points means suspension.

Independent; 15 days' notice to end

You are an independent professional, not an employee, and you are free to work for others. Either side can end the partnership with 15 days' written notice. For a serious breach, Vortex can act sooner after hearing your side. Fees you earned stay due.
