Gigsters are the new derivative of employees who will add value to the employment scape in India. Gigsters are those who take on a gig (Get it Going) project based on their specific skill sets that match the job requirements. The pandemic has just thrown open the door for gigsters to take centre stage in India. This paper looks at the gig boom in India and how it can significantly change the employment landscape in India. It also examines the question of who is a good fit for gig employment and how gigsters can improve their value proposition. It also aims to address the question of challenges for the gigsters, like their inability to engage in collective bargaining, the lack of long term economic security, the safety and security of gigsters in the work place etc.Keywords
