LinkedIn for 'kaam walas'

A very interesting idea, implemented by someone in Bangalore.

For example, if Rajeev and Sanjay are friends, and Sanjay needs a chauffeur, he can view Rajeev’s page, travel to the page of Rajeev’s chauffeur and see which of the chauffeur’s friends are looking for similar work.

Searching for kaam wali, driver, gardeners etc. will be made easier with this social network. I wonder when someone will make this for Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad... We use phones and messengers for this purpose already; why not setup a site? and make money out of it? What do you say my entrepreneur friends?
