GigIndia raises Rs 7.6 crore in pre-Series A funding round

New Delhi: GigIndia, a Pune-based B2B gig marketplace, closed a pre-Series A funding round with additional influx of Rs 7.6 crore from two angel investors—Anjali Bansal, founder at Avaana Capital, and Vineet Patni, former president of Bajaj Allianz.

The company plans to use the funding to enhance its technology platform for building a larger community of gig workers, founder Sahil Sharma and Aditya Shirole said in a statement Wednesday. “With the additional funding, we plan to rapidly scale our business while continuing to invest in talent and technology,” Sharma said.

Launched in June 2017, GigIndia provides on-demand work to companies via gig or variable workforce for functions such as sales, marketing and operations, thus eliminating overheads cost like recruiting, training and workforce management.
