After working as an
analytical chemist and microbiologist for 25 years, Veena Patwardhan decided to
ditch her secure nine-to-five job at the lab to pursue her passion for writing.
And, there has been no looking back for her ever since. The Mumbai-resident has
now been working as a full-time freelance writer for almost 20 years and at the
same time, juggling her long list of roles on the personal front just as
efficiently.





Like her, there are many
others who ditched their long and productive careers to take up something new
or re-market their unique skills as consultants. Freelancing, as a full-time
career, has given them a chance to do what they want after retirement and build
on their investment with a job that caters to their free spirit. The retired
bring in their years of experience and depth of knowledge into their
freelancing work, which makes them valuable resources for the companies as
well. Besides, this new style of working brings in a substantial sum of money–
sometimes even more than what they used to make in their corporate jobs. Thus,
retirement doesn’t have to be the end of one’s career anymore; there are simply
too many opportunities for the retired to tap into as the freelancing sector is
growing manifold.

Freelancing has also proven
to be a boon for women who are housewives or stay-at-home moms by providing
them a chance to work remotely – from home or independent locations. There are
many women who have spent years getting their degrees and honing their skills,
but could not pursue a full-time job because of the constraints it poses such
as long working hours and unsuitable shifts. It can get challenging for them to
take care of their family and fulfil their child-rearing duties with ease when working
on a strict schedule. With easy access to internet, they can now put their
education and talent to good use by leveraging online job portals to find
freelance opportunities in an industry of their choice and interest. Working as
a freelancer allows them to work at their convenience and also, become
financially independent.





India has over 15 million
people working as freelancers today, which makes it the country with the second
largest freelance workforce in the world. Content writing and translation,
graphic design, web and mobile development, data entry, accounting, photography
and consulting are some of the key focus areas for Indian freelancers. With so
many lucrative options to choose from, the retired and the housewives can now
earn according to their potential and ensure that nothing can now put an end to
their careers or dreams.
