    GIGI creates financial solutions for the 150 million freelancers and gig workers in India. Working with GIGI helps you reduce churn, and increase worker retention/ NPS. If you are a business looking for affordable, high quality benefits + financial solutions for your staff, email us at hello@gigibenefits.com Fewer Indians are choosing traditional 9-5 full time employment. As the nature of employment changes, benefits (such as PF contributions, ESI/group insurance cover, and pensions) which are today inaccessible to a majority of Indians, also need to change. We’re redesigning benefits with the needs of the worker in mind: Our benefits combine flexibility, affordability, and resistance to income volatility. We are the first in India to launch a simple, monthly, health insurance plan, that mimics an ESI model. This is ideal for households and small businesses to cover their staff. Since 2019, GIGI has been working with multiple large companies, serving their contract and gig workers. Our Android app helps gig workers choose their benefits and access them easily.

    GIGI is part of the current YC Batch - W2020. We were one of 25 startups from India in this batch. As a fintech company focused on solving an urgent problem - that of gig worker benefits, we used our time in YC to work on refining our product and ramping up our go-to-market strategy. We show great traction, by already working with the largest gig employers in India. Also, GIGI is also the only YC startup from India with all-female founders.
