Omidyar backs freelancer marketplace VOIZ

VOIZ, a marketplace for gig working professionals, has raised $2 million in its seed round led by Omidyar Network.

The proceeds will be used to improve its tech stack and expand its presence across the country, VOIZ said in a press release.

Started 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.

The platform serves over 100 clients, including some well-known Indian unicorns in e-commerce, edtech, and other tech industries. According to the company, more than 1 lakh independent professionals have registered on the platform.

Bengaluru-based VOIZ competes with the likes of Apna, Able Jobs, The Crew Story, Gimo Solutions and Beewrks in the grey-collar recruitment space.
