freelancers represent 35% of the total working population, according to research
by global brokerage firm Morgan Stanley. While there is no comprehensive data
on the group in India, 70% of corporates in the subcontinent surveyed by Noble
House, a human resources consultancy, said they had used services of GIG
workers at least once in 2018 for major organizational issues such as advisory
support to functional teams and design of policies. Besides remote working and
being your own boss, the benefits of being a gig worker are not too many. GIG
workers—though their numbers are growing worldwide—seldom have access to
healthcare, paid time-off and provident fund.
Mobicare also includes multiple online courses for field work-force. This is to
make them updated and provide them with online training on their skills up
gradation. The technicians are provided with certification that helps them in

observed in India that when an employee is working, they are usually covered
with employee benefits but freelancers are not considered employees and don’t
fall under traditional workers. Thus, our objective is to protect these
freelancers & field workers thus providing them with the facility such as
Insurance, financial support, helpline, skilling & re-skilling
initiatives”.
