Timbuckdo Aims to Be India’s Student Gig Engine

Timbuckdo Aims to Be India’s Student Gig Engine

Timbuckdo is a company that helps college students find part-time jobs and gigs.

It was started by Mythri Kumar after she noticed that many students, including her younger brother, were looking for ways to earn money outside of traditional internships.

The platform offers a variety of jobs, from working at pizza shops to pet-sitting, and ensures that students work no more than 22 hours a week.

Timbuckdo makes money by charging employers to list jobs and by offering student discounts on certain brands.

The company is growing quickly and plans to expand internationally.

However, there are concerns about the safety and reliability of gig work for students, as well as the potential for the platform to exploit the very users it aims to help.
