India’s gig economy is undergoing a dramatic transformation, powered by digital innovation, geographic expansion, and changing consumer behavior. In 2025, three powerful forces are reshaping how platforms recruit, retain, and scale gig operations: Tier-2 city growth, multilingual content strategies, and the diversification of on-demand services. Here's how platforms can stay ahead.
1. Tier-2 City Boom: Unlocking Untapped Talent Pools
The biggest surprise of the post-pandemic gig economy? The rise of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Urban saturation has driven platforms to look beyond metros, where emerging markets like Indore, Surat, Lucknow, and Coimbatore are producing highly motivated gig talent.
Platforms like Marketplace Company are tapping into this wave by building localized onboarding and training infrastructure for new workers. These regions bring operational cost advantages, lower attrition, and increasing smartphone penetration.
Our onboarding process is now live in 50+ cities across India, designed to be language-inclusive, fast, and mobile-friendly.
We’re also expanding our regional career pathways through targeted field operations. To be part of this fast-moving expansion, check out our careers page for open roles.

2. Voice Search & Regional Language SEO: Winning the Digital Game
With over 800 million internet users in India, voice search and vernacular content are driving platform discovery in 2025. Users are no longer typing—they’re asking. And they’re asking in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, and beyond.
This is why Marketplace Company has invested in regional language SEO and multilingual onboarding journeys. Our goal is simple: make every gig worker feel seen, heard, and understood—no matter their literacy or device.
We’ve optimized our onboarding portal to respond to voice queries and are building text-to-speech tutorials to make jobs accessible in local languages.
Through our Instagram content, we run storytelling campaigns in native dialects to attract and retain hyperlocal talent.

3. From Delivery to Personal Services: The Next Meta-Trend
The Indian gig economy is no longer limited to deliveries or ridesharing. A new wave of urban demand is emerging around personal services—including beauty professionals, fitness coaches, tutors, home cleaners, and more.
This is creating space for hyper-personalized matching, allowing workers to build long-term client relationships and greater autonomy.
At Marketplace Company, we’re enabling this shift through upskilling modules, category-specific training, and smart deployment models.
On Instagram, we showcase real stories of gig workers breaking into personal service categories.
