The gig economy is firmly on its way to becoming a key part of India Inc’s strategy. As many as 72% of all gig projects were in large corporates and professional services firms in 2018-19 compared with 52% two years back. Plus, most of the professional gig economy segments have seen growth double in two years, according to a study, ‘Professional Gig Economy 2018-19 Report Card’, carried out by Flexing It, a gig platform, and shared exclusively with ET.
“We find that large corporates are increasingly leveraging independent consultants and freelancers to drive priority strategic projects and to pilot new product/service models. This is driven by a need for specific expertise and new thinking, the urgency of deliverables and also a need for flexibility,” said Chandrika Pasricha, founder of Flexing It.
