Welcome to Your FlexDesk
India's first-ever helpdesk for women consultants and freelancers, by Flexing It®.
Freelancing can be a very satisfying and sustainable career. However, the number of women leveraging expert freelancing in India is much lower as compared to the global average. Our research shows us that:
- Only 18% of women are currently leveraging freelancing as a source of quality and trusted work.
- There exists a difference of 30-35% in fee levels on average between men and women freelancers.
- Only 12% of women consultants check external benchmarks to determine their project fees and > 50% would just accept the given project budget.
Flexing It is India's largest platform that curates high-quality projects for business consultants, on demand. We aim to solve for these and many more challenges faced by our women consultants. Our helpdesk is designed to enable the success of a woman consultant in her freelance journey.

"I got the lead for Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through FlexingIt® and I ended up consulting with them for six months. I also used FlexingIt® to assess typical freelance consulting rates that I could charge my clients. I would highly recommend partnering with FlexingIt® in case you are looking for meaningful full time or part time gig opportunities.”
