Skill Arbitrage - Remote Work for Women
Sunayani Ganguly A veteran of the advertising industry, Sunayani was no stranger to the everyday misogyny of a male-dominated profession. So much so that some of her workplaces didn’t even have separate washrooms for women. Having worked for some of the…
Incidentally, Oxfam’s ‘India Discrimination Report 2022’ pays special attention to the gender pay gap, revealing that women face bias both in recruitment and pay across the country.

Remote work has made her gender irrelevant, as far as Sunayani is concerned. Her worth is now measured solely by the work she does as Head of the Marketing Content team.

Working remotely, she feels great about not having to use make-up, or to care what clothes she wears. Only the value she creates counts!

While producing daily marketing content such as ads and other communication, she feels the flexible work schedule also leaves her with time to pursue her passion for creative writing and poetry.

Yajnaseni Chakraborty

An experienced media professional and author who joined us in 2022, Yajnaseni was a regional editor with a reputable national media house when she lost her job overnight at the height of the pandemic.

Panic-stricken, the single mother realised she wouldn’t readily find another job, given the widespread freeze on recruitments thanks to the pandemic. So she took the freelance route and began working from home, though she wasn’t sure if she would find steady work since she had no guidance in this area.

By the time she joined us, however, working from home had become the new normal for her, as it had for most of the world, and she fits perfectly into our remote work culture as Senior Content Writer for the Marketing team, a role which helps her indulge her passion for writing.

As mentioned above, remote work gives you the FREEDOM you were always seeking.

FREEDOM from commuting

FREEDOM from leaving your children alone or with a paid help at home

FREEDOM from 9-5 drudgery

FREEDOM from office cubicles and office politics

FREEDOM from choosing between family and work

FREEDOM from being limited by a small local job market – because remotely you can work with the entire world

FREEDOM from low pay and toxic bosses

Remote work has given control back to women.

Men will never understand what a game changer remote work has been for women.

If you ask our colleagues, you will find that none of them want to go back to a brick and mortar workplace, because they can no longer be comfortable in that limiting environment.

They have got used to the flexibility and comfort of remote work, and see no reason to return to their earlier routines.

Worldwide, thanks to the pandemic, remote work is here to stay.

According to this Times of India article (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/whats-the-future-of-remote-work-in-2023/), “In 2023, the remote work landscape is expected to look much different... With the rise of virtual reality, 5G technology, and AI-powered software, professionals around the world will benefit from enhanced connectivity, improved security, and greater flexibility when it comes to working from home.”

In our next message, we will be talking about international remote work opportunities and how you can get access to them, according to your educational and professional backgrounds and skill sets.

And we will actually teach you the skills and give you a roadmap for the future at our bootcamp, setting you up for a high-income, high-growth career.

My first trip to the Maldives was planned for March-April 2020, but it got cancelled.

Just one week before our departure, India was under lockdown, and my trip was deferred to 6 months later.

However, in 3 months, I received an email from the airline - my flight to Maldives was cancelled and I got a full refund. Our trip appeared to be jinxed.

It was a time of high anxiety at work - people around were losing jobs, lawyers finding it hard to get new clients, existing clients were deferring payments, courts were shut and hiring had slowed down.

We were working extra hard to support our students to find opportunities amidst this uncertainty.

A couple of months later, Ramanuj was struck by a brainwave to start training Indians to work remotely for international clients.

I got busier as we built entirely new support systems and programs from scratch, and the dream of visiting our dream destination became bleak and faded from my memory.

3 years later, in 2023, after we have enabled more than 25K learners to secure international remote work, jobs and internships, I am here with a resolve.

As I fulfil my own dream with my wife, I dream for India and people of other developing countries.

Thanks to the boon of remote work, lakhs of Indians will fulfil these dreams next. Some of our learners have already started supporting their families with resources, even buying cars and homes.

I dream of a day when we fulfil “Project Virtual Bangalore”, a mission where 1 million remote freelancers from small towns and cities are working remotely for international clients, employing millions of others who are similarly placed in respectful remote jobs.

Instead of one city, and creating congestion there, this will enable the economies of many tier-2 and 3 cities across the country.

This wave of remote employment will create a new kind of wealth, freedom and empowerment amongst our country’s people.

India will earn more forex from remote workers than our total import bills.

India will be the #1 destination to support world-class remote service talent to power any global business.

Our learners will have the opportunity to spend quality time with their families from such beautiful locations and feel safe and grateful to the universe - and money will not be an obstacle.

Many learners have embarked on this mission with us, and we are building our capacities further to support them.

Opportunity is knocking on the door. Our time is coming.

India is learning, India is earning.

If you are interested in knowing how you can tap into such opportunities, I invite you to attend a FREE live online bootcamp on Nov 18, Nov 19, Nov 20, 2023, 10.30 AM to 01.30 PM.

Most working women hate public transport & rush hour.

Sometimes they don’t even have options & have to quit their jobs just because of this.

Remote work is the solution.

But there is no college/ university that teaches women how to get a remote job or freelance work.

On the other hand, we are an edtech company that enables Indian women to work remotely with employers & clients in the US, UK, Canada, UAE, Singapore & other developed countries where English is the primary language of business.

We have helped thousands of women just like you to transit to remote work.

It does not matter:

👉 If you live in a small town where opportunities are few

👉 If you took a break from work to raise your children

👉 If you did not go to a top university

👉 Whether you want to work full time or part time

Reply ‘What Matters?’ in the comments below 👇 to know what actually matters if you want to get control of your life through remote work & freedom you deserve.

If this sounds like something you want to explore, be there at our FREE bootcamp on 18-20 November, 10:30 AM - 1:30 PM.

Got it? End of story!

Now as promised above, here are things which really matters if you want to make this a reality in your own life:

👉 Can you communicate in English (if not, are you willing to improve your business English communication?)

👉 Do you have high-demand skills that the new economy needs? If not, are you willing to learn?

👉 Are you willing to spend two hours every day building your track record in international remote work?

👉 Do you have a smartphone or laptop and a strong internet connection?

👉 Are you ready to take charge of your destiny and grow by delivering value to your employers/ clients?

Yeah, that's about it. This is all you need to change everything.

I quit my job after marriage. Can I work from home now?

It is a well known fact that women’s employment rates increased sharply during World War I (1914-18), from about 23% in 1914 to approx. 40% in 1918.

As a result, alongside managing the home, women began taking up tasks that had traditionally been performed by men.

With the rapid and worldwide growth of remote work and artificial intelligence (AI) driven jobs in the last few years, women in the 21st century may be poised for their very own WWI moment.

And the best part is, you don’t have to be a software engineer, data scientist or lawyer to benefit from international remote work. The stage is huge, you just need to play your part.

If you are thinking that is it possible for you as a woman to get some remote opportunities or jobs, here is the answer.

Let me share the experience in the words of one of our students, Sushmitha Arukalla, who lives in Hyderabad:
Skill Arbitrage - Remote Work for Women
If you are thinking that is it possible for you as a woman to get some remote opportunities or jobs, here is the answer. Let me share the experience in the words of one of our students, Sushmitha Arukalla, who lives in Hyderabad:
I am 2013 B.Tech grad of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering and Technology, and was working as a senior cabin crew at SpiceJet for more than six years till October 2020.

I used to earn about INR 1 lakh p.m. as a senior cabin crew at SpiceJet. I am also a soft skills trainer.

I had worked at SpiceJet for 6.5 years, and then I got married and the pandemic struck.

I had to take a break in my career and stop working.

However, soon afterwards, I was eager to restart work and tried to look for opportunities, but it was very difficult.

I wanted a work-from-home job as that would enable me to take care of my family as well.

I have attended 50-100 seminars looking for different career options but finally discovered a viable opportunity at a free bootcamp conducted by SkillArbitrage, where they explained how one can do remote freelance work for international clients and even get full-time or part-time jobs.
👍105
In May 2023, I enrolled with one of the courses by SkillArbitrage, and obtained guidance on how to get work from freelance platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr.

The team assisted me to build my freelance profile and write effective proposals. I sent out some proposals and was able to secure 2 work-from-home opportunities within one month itself. One was from a UK client for cold calling and the other was for an appointment-setting role with a US client.

I took up both jobs, but am more interested in the second one, and it pays me about USD 1600 per month.

It is a full-time remote job, and I work from home for 8 hrs per day from the comfort of my home, yet earn more than what I was last earning and also take care of my family. The client wants me to work for them for a long term now.

I am also using several AI tools to produce work of superior quality and discharge my responsibilities more effectively. Learning AI tools has been life changing for me and helps me to stand out in a global talent pool.

I have come a long way from where I started thanks to SkillArbitrage and I am very happy. There is a long way to go ahead.

Anyone can do it if you learn skills, build your track record and do outreach.

Competition is very low and Indians have a massive cost advantage.

Also, it does not matter if you do not have pro-level skills, as you can learn how to use AI properly and deliver great results for your clients.

She is not the only one doing this.

We will show many more stories of women like you getting similar success in our FREE online bootcamp on ‘Remote work revolution for women - How to land AI driven international remote jobs’ from 18-20 November, 10:30 AM - 1:30 PM.

Mother of a special needs child got USD 10K contract from a Philippines-based startup

Gayatri Vathsan had about 15 years of work experience in multiple MNCs, mostly as an instructional designer and a writer, when she took a career break in 2014 for personal reasons, leaving behind a pay package of 12-13 LPA.
👍11🔥1
She planned to get back to work around 2015-2016, but couldn’t do that as she has a special needs’ child, and had only about 3-4 hrs per day of free time available for work.

She could not find part-time remote work opportunities back then.

It would take a few more years before remote work and international talent arbitrage became possible.

In August 2023, she started pursuing a remote work course from Skill Arbitrage so that she could pursue remote work on a part-time basis.

She took assistance from our team to build her Upwork profile, writing outreach messages to her clients, posting actively on LinkedIn and also started learning some skills around generative AI.

In 1 month, she received an invite for a job on her Upwork profile from a Philippines-based AI company from Scale AI.

The client offered her an initial trial project, which she performed successfully and then bagged an annual project of USD 10K!

Her role involves training an AI model that her client is developing for a Big Tech company.

It does not require any technical knowledge of coding, science or mathematics.

She has to work only for 2 hours per day and can take care of her family for the remaining time.

Her confidence levels have shot up.

She used to write earlier as a hobby, but did not publish her work.

After joining our courses, she started publishing her content online, and this led to her securing several career opportunities.

Gayathri has secured 4 full-time remote job offers through LinkedIn, all of which pay more than her last job!

She had to decline them for now as she only has 3 hours per day to work.

Gayathri is also writing her novel, and she also obtained an offer from a mainstream book publisher on LinkedIn!

This is what happens when you build skills and a demonstrable track record.

Like Gayathri, it is possible for any woman who had to give up her career to prioritise family needs/personal obligations to get back into the workforce through international remote work, even if you just have 2-4 hours per day of free time available.

Would you like to find out how you can jump on the international remote work bandwagon too?
