VOIZ, a Bangalore-based marketplace for gig working professionals, has raised $2 million in funding led by Omidyar Network. It will use the funds to improve its tech stack and expand its presence across the country.

Launched in July last year by Rajesh Bernard, Vineet Patil, and Sandeep Nyamati, VOIZ helps businesses recruit gig workers for online roles such as customer service, tele-calling, sales, and data entry and recruitment, among others.

“There are very few platforms building for the future of work. Our vision is to disrupt the grey-collar gig workforce economy and create employment for over 3 million independent professionals in the next five yrs. We are excited to partner with Omidyar Network India in our next phase of growth,” said Bernard.

The platform serves over 100 clients, including some well-known Indian unicorns in ecommerce, edtech, and other tech industries. More than 1 lakh independent professionals have registered on the platform.

VOIZ believes such a future of work to be digital, remote, powered by gig, and enabled by gamification that can have a huge social impact in employing a mobility-challenged workforce across the world.
