Identify yourself

Are you a women:

1⃣ Relocating due to marriage or change of husband’s job or other similar reason?

2⃣ Looking to spend time with your children but not looking to give up your work?

3⃣ Looking to have international clients & exposure proving your mettle to the world sitting at your home?

4⃣ Having conservative family/ in-laws where stepping out of home & shifting to another city for the opportunities you deserve is almost impossible?

5⃣ You have to fulfil your family responsibilities while working & balancing both is really difficult?

6⃣ Looking to remove the gender pay gap?

Remote work gives women the FREEDOM you were always seeking.

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.

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 2023, she attended a remote work bootcamp 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.
👍2
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.
👍3
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.
👍3🥰2
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?

Would you like to know more about the roles that are most in-demand?
It does not matter if you do not have a lot of prior expertise in those areas - with the help of AI you can secure opportunities in about 3-6 months of training.

You just have to follow a step-by-step roadmap.

We will provide the roadmap, show how to find clients, give examples of how to build your track record and even demo some live AI skills that you can use to perform this work in a free 3-day bootcamp this weekend.

It is free, live and online, but no recordings will be available.

You will also have an opportunity to interact with several Skill Arbitrage learners who have actually achieved these results if you attend the bootcamp.

See you in the bootcamp!

Work-from-home moms, meet Priyanka & Komal

Priyanka Karwa, mother of 2, has been working with us remotely from Thane for the past 8 years. She lives with her family.

Hiring working mothers remotely has laid the foundation of our company even before the pandemic.

In 2015, when we were working on legal education at our first startup iPleaders, we were struggling to hire smart and dedicated people.

As a bootstrapped startup, we could not compete with the budget of funded startups and large companies.

We spent hours interviewing and speaking to talented candidates, but many good candidates would not join as they were not convinced about our future.

Others did not want to take the ownership and responsibility that the job required.

Even those who joined left shortly after getting trained with us for brand name jobs that paid them 2x-3x.

That is when we stumbled upon the idea of hiring work-from-home mothers who could not otherwise work in traditional full-time office jobs.

One of our learners recommended that we interview Priyanka Karwa, who lived in the same building. 
 
She had taken tuitions for school kids earlier.
 
Priyanka started by working part-time for 6 hours. She did very well, and we gave her more responsibilities. 
 
She later went on to head operations in our company. 
 
Today, she heads our placement and freelancing team, which comprises 50+ people, and delivers success to approx. 1600+ students every month.  
 
She also funded the purchase of her husband’s clinic with her earnings so that he could grow his practice as a dentist when he was facing a financial crunch post COVID.

When our content head left, we hired Komal Shah on a part-time basis, a legal and compliance officer with 13+ years multinational experience, to write content for our courses.

There was no way we could hire her normally, she was highly qualified having worked in London and Dublin, but she wanted work from home jobs and we were the only ones who offered work from home job in legal domain that time.

She went on to become the head of the content team later, and today is a co-founder and Chief Knowledge Officer, and heads our Upwork Agency, pitching to startups and remote clients for work that can be performed by our learners.

We realised that in general, work-from-home mothers work harder and are more productive than many people who were working from offices.

They usually have superior problem-solving skills and are more customer-oriented.

We went 50% remote before lockdown in 2017.

Today we have approx. 62% women workforce, of which 60% from small cities.

However, we are sad that millions of women in India are not able to secure such opportunities and have to sacrifice their career to meet their personal obligations, since the remote work revolution was short lived here and organisations insist on working from office.

That is when we decided to support women from India to upskill and work remotely for SMEs, services businesses, startups and professionals in advanced economies like US, UK, Canada, Germany & Dubai.
95% of these businesses are not able to hire high quality talent in their home country, or set up a subsidiary in India or send work to an Indian BPO, but they can work with Indian freelancers directly.

Work-from-home women in India and developing countries have a cost advantage in such roles, and their value-generation is further amplified by using AI.

In the last few months, we have been training work-from-home women, especially those who have some professional experience but had to take a career break for personal reasons, to get back into the workforce by performing remote work using AI skill sets.

You can now have the professional success you deserve without worrying about location.

You don’t have to choose between family and career.
