Awign Enterprises, a tech platform to take up on-the-ground work from businesses, has raised $4 million in a Series A funding round led by Work10M, Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, Eagle10, and existing investors, Unitus Ventures. The company was founded by IIT-alumni Annanya Sarthak, Gurpreet Singh, and Praveen Sah in 2016.
The company plans to utilize these funds in strengthening its app and enterprise-facing platform. It also plans to develop robust sales and marketing channels.
In a media statement, Gurpreet Singh, Co-founder, Awign, said, “Majority of businesses in India, whether traditional or new age, continue to be offline driven, requiring high touch human intervention at most stages of the value chain. Our strong technology-enabled platform with a unique offering of delivering ‘work’ and not ‘workforce’ has helped us build expertise and win the favour of marquee customers across FMCG, CPG, Retail, BFSI, Telecom, Ecommerce and Mobility sectors.”
The company claims to have 500k+ workforce across 300 cities. It also claims that it has fulfilled 5 million micro-jobs.
