The gig economy | Maliha M Quadir | TEDxGulshan

“The gig economy is playing an important role in Bangladesh addressing socio economic problems related to unemployment and underemployment, especially among the youth who are also quickest to adapt to technology. It is also creating a very sustainable source of income for women, who find it hard to enter the full-time workforce due to family commitments and often social taboo. These were some of the reasons which inspired me to start Shohoz.com, which is an online service delivery platform providing gig opportunities for millions of Bangladeshi people.” Maliha Quadir, a Bangladeshi -American, is a technology entrepreneur. Her start up Shohoz.com has done breakthrough work in digitizing the disorganized and male-dominated transportation industry in Bangladesh. Before Shohoz.com, she was based in Singapore as Director of Vistaprint’s digital business in global emerging markets. Prior to this, she worked for Nokia in strategy and business development for an emerging market focused digital content service called Nokia Life Tools, covering India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, China and Nigeria. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
