With a resource pool of 50,000 technical gig workforce across 8,000 pin codes in India, the startup provides services to marquee brands and claims to have completed over two million jobs through the platform.

The platform is also working on a mission to transform the way technical field services are delivered globally, and in that process, MyMobiForce helps gig workers with work opportunities, employment enhancing training, and access to financial products such as insurance, savings, and microloans. 

Commenting on the investment, Sanjay Jain, Partner at Bharat Inclusion Seed Fund, added,

“India is still among the least penetrated flexi staffing markets globally with merely ~0.5 percent of the workforce employed in a flexible manner as against 3-4 percent globally. With the increasing formalisation of the economy, GST, labour law reforms, COVID-19, and an increasing number of enterprises shifting to flexi-staffing, crowdsourced platforms are poised for the next leg of growth over the long term," he said.

"We are really excited to partner with MyMobiForce; the company has built a world-class platform that allows businesses to digitally connect, skill, monitor and empower the field workforce to complete technical jobs,” he added.
