🚀 India’s creator economy jumped from 0.9M to over 4M in just 4 years. But here’s the real question: Why are Gen-Z creators and freelancers still chasing payments, stuck with shady platforms, and earning in broken systems that weren’t built for them? 🧠 I’ve been working on a project called GeeksGrow GigGrow — a mobile-first gig marketplace focused purely on: • INR payouts (backed by Razorpay escrow), • Quick gigs in content, design, admin, etc., • Built-in affiliate income so even referrals earn, • And full transparency from day one. It’s our small attempt to create something better than what we had to deal with ourselves. No middlemen. No vague terms. No “coming soon” promises. 📢 I genuinely want to hear from folks in this space: • What has your freelance/gig experience in India been like? • What’s the one feature you wish platforms like Fiverr or Upwork had? • Is there even a “trust-first” way to build this ecosystem? 👇 Let’s talk. Let’s break it down. Let’s build it better. 🧡 Looking forward to hearing what the Medial community thinks.

Definitely a gap in the market for INR-first freelance ecosystems. Still wondering if there’s a cap on how scalable this is without turning into another “race to the bottom” marketplace?

This sounds like a step in the right direction, especially the escrow bit. Curious to know how you’re planning to vet clients tho, that’s where most platforms fall apart.

AI platforms like ChatGPT can write code in a minute then what is the use of coding platforms like leetcode, codechef, gfg, hackerrank etc. These should be optimised to prevent cheating. Having 5 star in any coding language is now everyones gig.
