“I have the freedom to work from my hometown or any location of my choice without the need to commute to an office,” Ravindra S, a Java developer working for a leading IT company, tells YourStory. Like Ravindra, a seasoned professional with almost a decade of experience as a Full Stack Developer with prominent IT firms, other highly-skilled individuals YourStory spoke to are opting for gig work over traditional full-time employment.

The top reasons for this shift are: flexibility, improved work-life balance, and higher in-hand salaries. Currently working with a team of nearly 25 professionals, Ravindra says gig work reduces constraints on his time. “I can log in and out at my convenience. Even at 10 PM, I can simply provide an update on my current tasks. And the absence of countless meetings throughout the day is a refreshing change,” he adds.
