About Awign Enterprises

Awign Enterprises operates as a tech-driven, on-demand work fulfillment platform in India, connecting enterprises with a flexible gig workforce. Founded in 2016 by IIT alumni Annanya Sarthak, Gurpreet Singh, and Praveen Sah, the company is headquartered in Bengaluru, India. The founders identified a market need to organize and execute enterprise work digitally, leading to the creation of a platform that bridges the gap between companies requiring project-based work and a distributed workforce. CEO Annanya Sarthak, a mechanical engineer, previously worked as a management consultant. Gurpreet Singh serves as the Chief Revenue Officer, leading enterprise sales, while Praveen Sah, the Chief Technology Officer, brings experience from previous roles at Flipkart and Ola.

The company functions as a two-sided marketplace, serving enterprises on one end and gig workers on the other. Its business model is outcome-based, meaning clients are billed for the completed work itself, not for the number of workers. Awign does not charge the gig workers on its platform. The firm caters to a wide array of sectors including FMCG, retail, BFSI, telecom, e-commerce, and mobility, with notable clients like Tata Group, Swiggy, and Infosys. In April 2024, Japanese firm Mynavi acquired a majority stake in Awign, turning it into a subsidiary to support both Indian and Japanese companies.

Awign's core service involves taking on complex enterprise requirements and breaking them down into smaller, manageable micro-tasks for its network of over 1.5 million gig partners across more than 1,000 cities. The platform handles the entire workflow, from discovering and training workers to managing task execution and processing payroll. Services offered are extensive, encompassing business development, last-mile delivery, auditing, due diligence, content moderation, tele-calling, and proctoring. For its gig workforce, Awign provides flexible work opportunities, upskilling through online courses via Awign University, and career growth prospects, aiming to make gig work a viable career path. The company's technology platform is a key feature, automating task allocation, tracking, and payments, ensuring efficient and quality-controlled outcomes for its enterprise clients.
