Sitting across Uber/Ola union drivers, negotiating strike demands, talking to @nandiniv about contract workers, that's how GIGI was born.
150 million gig workers in India have no access to benefits.
This changes today.
We're building benefits for the future of work!

@nandiniv GIGI is a fintech company whose focus is on building really simple, micro, financial products that make a huge impact on the lives of those working in India's informal sector.

@nandiniv We've been live since 2019, working with various 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler gig workers in Bangalore, building and curating the right products for them.

We work with aggregators, marketplaces on the supply side, and the best and most trusted financial players on the product side.

@nandiniv Today, Republic Day, we launch India's first monthly health insurance targeted at household staff, and early employees in companies without ESI.

(Yes, its for you and your household and your small business! GET STARTED - gigibenefits.com)

@nandiniv It takes 53 second to sing our national anthem today.
It takes around the same amount of time to sign up your nanny, your cook, your househelp, your watchman, your driver - your early employees, your small business supporter on GIGI.
Go on to gigibenefits.com

@nandiniv Someone once remarked that every Indian household is like a SMB. We lend, recover, write-off, support debts and finances of so many people - our househelp.

Ever wanted to get your maid insurance? Or help your driver save better for his kids school fees? GIGI is the answer.

@nandiniv SO:

1. Get on gigibenefits.com and sign up your staff for monthly health insurance (first of its kind in India) for just Rs. 199
2. Tell everyone you know
3. Come back and tweet to us with #GotGigi

@nandiniv ps: Its gigi as in goat, not gigi as in giraffe

@nandiniv Who built GIGI? @nandiniv and @thegajendra_gk and @spadjay and @anbarasiu and @thenean

it took thousands of hours of conversations and testing and feedback to build India's first and only financial solutions suite for gig workers and freelancers. Try it. Tell us what you think

@nandiniv @thegajendra_gk @spadjay @anbarasiu @thenean I signed up my nanny just now on GIGI. She's MVP of our household.
Her husband abandoned her with 2 young kids. She works hard to support them, they go to a good school.

I want to make sure she's covered for health.
(and @vinaykesari agrees - so we signed her up today, now)

@nandiniv @thegajendra_gk @spadjay @anbarasiu @thenean @vinaykesari A whole bunch of you signed up to our early access beta (we love you!) - i'll be sending you individual emails tomorrow.

However, sign up today and we've got something very special coming your way - just our way of saying thanks for the support!
