Taskmo, a subsidiary of Quess Corp launched 'Mission 2021' to provide 2021 job opportunities among diverse industries across the country to those who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Taskmo launched this mission to empower job seekers and eradicate unemployment with a vision to revolutionize the economy and make employment a fundamental right.
ASSOCHAM revealed in their latest update that India's Gig Economy is firmly on its way to becoming a crucial part of India Inc's strategy. The size of the gig economy is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17% and is likely to hit a gross volume of $455 billion by 2023.
In alignment with the industry outlook, Taskmo aims to create jobs in several categories-content moderator, customer support executive, data entry executive, field auditor, field sales executive, in-store staff, retail executive, partner onboarding executive, tele calling executive, warehouse executive, network administrator, merchandisers and many more.
"On this 75th Independence Day, we stressed on the theme of "Nation First, Always First". We decided to launch "Mission 2021" to provide jobs to 2021 potential individuals who either lost jobs or lost the sole earning member of their family to the pandemic", said Naveen Ram, Co-Founder, Taskmo. "Our mission does not just end with providing 2021 jobs opportunities across ten distinctive industries, but our objective is to identify suitable candidates, digitally train and upskill them to meet industry standards and offer them jobs in their area of interest".
"Despite the pandemic, we witnessed an incredible increase in demand for gig work. Taskmo was able to scale up from performing zero to over 100,000+ tasks every month during the period, and we are estimating to reach 1 Million tasks per month by Q3 FY2021-22," said Prashant Janadri, Co-Founder of Taskmo. "This accelerated growth stemmed from the unique initiatives that Taskmo took in creating youth empowerment and alleviating unemployment."
