Taskmo

Taskmo is a technology-driven gig discovery platform headquartered in Bengaluru, India, that connects businesses with a pre-screened, deployable workforce for temporary, part-time, and task-based needs. Founded in 2017 by Prashant Janadri and Naveen Ram, the company was initially launched as FeedMyPockets with a mission to help students find flexible jobs to finance their education. The founders, both tech professionals, identified a broader need in the market, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the gig economy, leading to the rebranding to Taskmo in 2020 to serve a wider audience.

The platform operates as a B2B managed marketplace, allowing enterprises to outsource operational tasks to a distributed network of gig workers. Taskmo's technology utilizes AI-based training and assessment, geo-based task routing, and a real-time dashboard for performance tracking. This enables businesses across sectors like e-commerce, food tech, retail, and financial services to scale their operations efficiently. Clients range from startups to Fortune 500 companies, including Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato, Uber, and Reliance.

The business model focuses on providing cost-efficient and flexible workforce solutions, generating revenue by connecting companies with its network of gig workers for specific projects. In January 2021, Taskmo secured a significant investment of $1.4 million from Quess Corp, India's largest private sector employer. This partnership evolved into a full acquisition by Quess Corp in April 2024, a move that led to the exit of founders Prashant Janadri and Naveen Ram, while Taskmo continues to operate as an independent subsidiary.
