Saurabh Mukherjea Warns of End to Salaried Jobs, Rise of Gig Economy in India

Imagine a world where most grown-ups don't have a regular job with a fixed monthly paycheck from a big company anymore.

That's what a smart person named Saurabh Mukherjea thinks will happen in India.

Big companies are getting so good at using computers and robots to do work that they don't need to hire many new people, even if they make more money.

At the same time, lots and lots of young people are finishing school every year, looking for jobs.

This means there won't be enough traditional jobs for everyone.

So, instead of working for one company, more people will do lots of small jobs for different people or companies, like driving, writing, or giving advice, and they'll be their own boss.

This is called the gig economy.

It might be a little scary, but India has young people and good technology like smartphones and digital payments that can help everyone work in this new way.
