New Delhi: India’s flexi workforce is expected to grow to 9.16 million by FY27 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6 per cent, a new report said on Friday.
The data compiled by the Indian Staffing Federation (ISF) highlights that the flexi staffing industry will play a major role in shaping formal employment in the coming years, supported by economic recovery and rising demand across sectors.
The ISF report, titled ‘Indian Flexi Staffing Industry 2025: Employment Growth – Sectoral & State Analysis’, projects the flexi staffing industry’s revenue to reach nearly Rs2,58,000 crore (about $24 billion) by FY27, growing at a rate of 17.3 per cent.
By FY26, the market is expected to touch Rs2,20,000 crore. This growth reflects how companies are increasingly relying on contract and temporary staff to remain agile, reduce compliance burdens, and access skilled talent quickly.
