Founder & Chief Operating Offer, Rozgaarindia.Com & Partner, Times Ascent

In the aftermath of COVID-19, the Indian economy is on the verge of a radical shift, with unemployment, discontent among employees, job switching, and new ventures all on the rise. As a result of its global adaptability and self-reliant way of life, freelancing has progressively become the new work culture in India. A big number of job-seeking, self-employed professionals in India are already embracing freelancing as a way to discover new ideas and try out new work genres. A decade ago, freelancing was considered something people did in between jobs or as a way to gain qualifications to be hired for a full-time position. This is no longer the case. Freelancing today is a career choice and a lifestyle preference. This trend is already one of the fastest-growing sectors of the economy. However, finding the right employer has become a significant challenge for freelancers today. To assist such freelancers and offer them a positive experience when seeking work prospects, Swapnil Chaturvedi founded RozgaarIndia in 2019, while she is also a Partner at Times Ascent.

Swapnil is driven by a vision to link the world's talent with skilled freelancers more quickly than ever before, enabling collaboration and work to be accomplished in a safe and secure online environment. Swapnil described her entrepreneurial journey and the obstacles she overcome on her route to success in an exclusive interaction with Women Entrepreneur Magazine.

Give Us A Brief Overview Of Rozgaarindia.Com. What Are Some Important Features Of Your Expertise As An Entrepreneur?

Our goal is to make the process of hiring remote workers easier by connecting employers with the best freelancers who can work with them for as little as a day, a month, or a year. Our user-friendly platform enables customers to manage off balance- sheet talented individuals with confidence and trust with a single click, saving them time and allowing them to concentrate on their success.

Further, entrepreneurship is a way of life; you must work without regard for the time. It is the ability and willingness to take risks, and because it is not a natural attribute for anyone, I needed to learn to trust myself and simply go for it. Also, for an entrepreneur, it's important to understand that you will make several errors while establishing your own business, but it's also critical to be resolute and not be afraid of making them. With every stride you go ahead in your company, you take one step backward.

What Motivated You To Establish A Company That Is Focused On Remote Hiring, Gig Economy, And Freelance Opportunities?

As a student in London, I never considered launching my own company. Though, I knew, that I needed adaptability and independence to be in control of my destiny. For me, Luv Kalra provided the inspiration I needed to begin my entrepreneurial path. When I and my co-founder Luv Kalra worked as freelancers during our undergraduate term in London, we came up with the concept to develop a remote work platform in India. As soon as we arrived back in India, we had one goal in mind: simplifying the work lives. In addition to my dedication and ability to drive innovation, encourage and nurture relationships in the firm, Luv's years of expertise in digital technology and the gig economy lend momentum to the organization.

Tell Us About The Varied Expertise That You Possess In The Digital Industry. How Has Your Past Industrial Experience Helped You In Your Current Role As The Founder At Rozgaar India And Partner At Times Ascent?

Digital Skills empowered me to launch my own business, and I am now the proud owner of Rozgaar India, a freelancing platform. Throughout my early years, I worked at organizations that assisted me in developing experience in business growth, human cloud management, business planning, and strategic decision-making. Entrepreneurship needs more than being a clever businessperson; it also demands an understanding of the broader technological ecosystem. You must be able to discern where possibilities exist and how you might make a small difference in people's lives. As much as I've worked hard to grow rozgaarindia.com, being a member of Times Ascent has helped me become a better business person overall. I've expanded my horizons so that I can take both of my babies to new heights.

What Are The Various Roles & Responsibilities That You Currently Shoulder At Rozgaar India And Times Ascent? What Are Some Of The Most Challenging Aspects Of Your Role And How Do You Overcome Them?

As COO of rozgaarindia.com, I am more directly involved in the company's overall strategy and vision. And my responsibilities include identifying new opportunities for expansion, developing comprehensive growth strategies for the firm, and promoting the company's vision. Then, as a Partner at TimesAscent, I am responsible for offering a specialized service in the areas of technology development, product conceptualization, assessment, and management of new initiatives that strengthen the market position and support growth.

“Entrepreneurship does not require a large vocabulary; rather, it requires a significant vision and purpose”

What Have Been The Most Significant Milestones That You Have Achieved So Far In Your Professional Journey? What Is Your Guiding Leadership Philosophy?

For me, it's always me versus me; I measure my accomplishments by how much better I am doing than I was last year. With so many years of experience, I've developed into an aspirational entrepreneur who is determined not to fail. Regarding the guiding philosophy, I read somewhere that you should not become a philosopher until you have achieved success in your desired career. Entrepreneurship does not require a large vocabulary; rather, it requires a significant vision and purpose. To lead a business, all you need is a brilliant team and a strong drive.

As A Successful Entrepreneur, What Would Your Advice Be To Young Women And Girls Aspiring To Become Business Leaders And Entrepreneurs In The Future?

You must remove the old frameworks that have been set up by society, the ones that are impeding your growth. And if your goal is to succeed; hustle, fail, continue but never stop. Because these are the experiences and memories that you will appreciate for the rest of your life. Also, it is important to know that one can start an entrepreneurial journey whenever they want to, acquire skills, and try to improve comprehension. Everything is possible; cultivate this growth mindset - it is what will propel individuals forward in business and life.
