Building Bridges, No... • 1d

With 15M+ freelancers and a market growing fast, India's freelance economy is booming. But platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancer still dominate — and come with their own challenges: 🔹 Tough competition — New profiles often get lost 🔹 Client trust issues for fresh accounts 🔹 High transaction fees & GST headaches 🔹 Many rely on personal websites or social media to find work 🔹 Indian clients needing small jobs done? Not always easy or affordable on global platforms 🔹 Bidding systems often require freelancers to pay just to apply — many lose money without getting projects With so much local talent and demand — is it time for an India-first freelancing platform? Would love to hear your thoughts👇
