HerCircle and HerWorkCircle are different organisations
The names sound alike, so here it is plainly. HerCircle (also written Her Circle) is run by Reliance Foundation, at hercircle.in, and was launched by Nita M. Ambani on International Women's Day, 7 March 2021. HerWorkCircle is a separate, independent organisation at herworkcircle.com. Neither is part of the other.
Whichever name you see, check the website address. HerWorkCircle never asks you for money; if anyone does in our name, it is not us.

How to read this
- HerWorkCircle is likely the better fit: Take the free skill check. It takes about 25 minutes on your phone, and we only send you work we have checked.
- HerCircle is likely the better fit: Try HerCircle for its articles, community, trackers and expert chat, and look at Bizruptors if you run a business.
- Use both, for different things: Use both: HerCircle for reading, health and community, HerWorkCircle for checked paid work.
A side is called when it leads by two or more answers. Each question has one answer that fits each option.

Members also earn HerCircle points and badges for posting, commenting and visiting every day. We couldn't find a page that explains whether the points can be exchanged for anything.
Using job listings safely
On HerCircle, employers post jobs and you apply with your CV. Some listings link to other websites, and HerCircle's terms say it is not responsible for the content of linked sites. We couldn't find a statement that it checks employers, so do your own check on any listing.
- Look the company up on its own website, and check the job is on its careers page.
- Never pay to apply, for training, or for a "joining kit".
- Keep Aadhaar, PAN and bank details until you have a written offer from a company you have checked.
- Be careful if a recruiter moves you to WhatsApp or Telegram.
Our guides on telling real work from fake and online earning apps go through the warning signs.
Your face scan and your data
HerCircle asks for a face check at sign-up to confirm you are a woman, and its privacy policy says it collects facial identifiers for this. The policy says in one place that the scan may be stored for revalidation, and in another that it is never stored. It also says data may be shared with affiliates for advertising, and that the current retention period is 10 years.
- Read the consent screen before the face check, and say no if you are not comfortable.
- You can withdraw your biometric consent by deleting your account in your profile settings.
- Share only what each feature needs, especially in health and finance trackers.
At HerWorkCircle only our team sees your details, and we never sell or share them.
Running a small business? Bizruptors and government schemes
Bizruptors is HerCircle's yearly programme for women entrepreneurs.

Check hercircle.in for the next edition's dates and rules.
Government schemes can help too, such as Mudra loans for starting or growing a small business without collateral. Our free schemes finder lists schemes for women, national and state by state, with official links, so you can see what you may qualify for.
Using both
- Use HerCircle for articles, community, health tracking and its free expert chat.
