An Impact Survey by Upaya Social Ventures
As the world grapples with unemployment, there are few things more powerful than finding innovative solutions to this pressing issue. At PickMyWork, our mission is to empower sales partners across India by providing them with access to steady income, valuable skills, and growth opportunities. We believe that the gig economy has the potential to transform the way people work, but we also recognize that it is a complex and rapidly evolving landscape that requires innovative solutions to address its challenges.
That’s why we were thrilled to see the results of a recent survey of sales partners who have found employment through PickMyWork. Upaya Social Ventures surveyed 189 sales partners from across India, and the results were clear: PickMyWork is making an impact on their lives.
Sales Partner’s Financial Stability (Short-term goals) because of PickMyWork:

Despite these challenges, we were pleased to learn that our platform has enabled gig workers to increase their average daily household income by 54 per cent.
What are the PickMyWork Sales Partners able to achieve?
We were also pleased to learn that the skills and experience gained by our app users have helped to improve their prospects for future employment. A staggering 93% of survey respondents stated that the skills they have learned will help them to secure better job opportunities in the future. For many, this has included learning:
- Public speaking skills,

Job Quality & Satisfaction Level of PickMyWork Sales Partners:
Most importantly, the Upaya survey revealed that the vast majority of sales partners employed through PickMyWork are satisfied with their jobs, and attribute this satisfaction to our reliable and prompt payment system. Users reported that receiving their payments on time and weekly has allowed them to better manage their finances and plan for their futures. And 89% of the jobholders reported being hopeful that their increased income from PickMyWork will enable them to achieve their long-term highest aspiration, an ambitious, overarching life goal.
There is a real difference in the lives of sales partners. After gaining employment with PickMyWork, household incomes have increased by 54% on average, enabling workers to better support themselves and their families. The platform is helping workers develop valuable skills and experience that will benefit them in their future careers.
Of course, we also recognize that there is still much work to be done to support sales partners and address the challenges of the gig economy. We are listening to the feedback provided by sales partners, who have suggested that we improve our services by introducing health insurance, and allowances, and increasing the availability of weekly payment options.
At PickMyWork, we are committed to working towards a future where sales partners can enjoy more stable and fulfilling work opportunities. We are proud of the impact we have made so far, but we recognize that there is still much work to be done. We will continue to strive for innovative solutions and to listen to the feedback of sales partners to ensure that we are always improving our services and support.
Solving unemployment is a monumental task that requires innovative solutions and the efforts of individuals who are willing to make a difference in the lives of others. At PickMyWork, we are proud to be playing a role in this effort. Our work is not just a job; it is a mission to help people achieve their goals, pursue their dreams, and live fulfilling lives.
