Abstract	The extraordinary rise of the Internet, and of late christened the Fourth Industrial Revolution2 is disrupting almost every industry in every country. The depth and breadth of these changes are a symptom of the transformation underway-of entire systems of production, management, and governance that happen only rarely. It is one of those seminal moments in history which could lead to yet another disruption in the labour market and completely redefine how we work. The question of how many jobs (and where) are created and destroyed depends on the speed of adoption, the economic activities which are based on them, and the social relations which develop around them, all informed by the local context. Moreover, jobs lost and new jobs offered may take place in different areas or points in time and would almost certainly require different skills, leading to contemporary mismatches and mismatches over time. This report assesses the growth of Microwork and Online Freelancing in India, an opportunity to work independently and temporarily by the rise of web-based platforms that are pairing talent with businesses. These concepts are elaborated in subsequent sections of the report.
