Major Findings 
  •  Nearly two-thirds (65%) of IT companies in India are employing gig workers this year, a higher share compared to 57% of the organizations in 2020.
  • While the share of tech organizations in India employing gig workers has increased, their share in the total workforce remains less than 5%.
  • The proportion of gig workers remains less than five per cent of the total workforce of organisations having more than 2,000 full-time employees.
  • Ensuring work quality, hurdles in security checks and verification, lack of structured policies, and clarity on regulations or guidelines for gig workers were some of the key concern areas amongst organisations.
  • Focus on specialized skills requirement, employee demand elasticity and cost optimization are enabling organizations to embed gig for technology roles.
