Rs. 65,000 Gigs, 4.5 Lakh Students, 24 Million Futures: TimBuckDo's Doers' Report 2025 Redefines How India's Students Earn

Indias students are no longer waiting to graduate to participate in the economy they are already powering it. The Doers Report 2025, released by TimBuckDo , Indias largest student gig platform, reveals how over 4.5 lakh students across the country are using gig work not as pocket money, but as a critical survival and independence tool earning anywhere between Rs. 800 micro-gigs to Rs. 65,000 high-responsibility roles. Student Gig Trends in 2025 The report, based on platform data spanning metros and fast-rising tier-2 cities, shows that the most common monthly gig earnings fall between Rs. 6,000 and Rs. 15,000, a range that closely mirrors essential student expenses such as rent, food, and commute. TimBuckDo introduces the Gig Survival Index (GSI) to quantify this shift highlighting that for many students, gig income now covers 40100% of monthly living costs, particularly in tier-2 cities. Geography of Gigs Key findings from The Doers Report 2025 include: Average monthly student gig payout: Rs. 8,000 Top earning cities: Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Pune Work format split: 48% on-ground, 32% remote, 20% flexible High-demand roles: Telecalling, delivery, social media, event operations, AI-assisted research, and content optimisation Top individual earnings: Up to Rs. 1.5 lakh annually by student DOers Commenting on the findings, Mythri Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, TimBuckDo , said, What 2025 confirmed for us is that student gigs are no longer transitional, they are foundational. In 2026, we expect this shift to accelerate as AI-powered matchmaking, smarter work design, and deeper employer trust make student gig work faster, safer, and more predictable. Gigs will become seamlessly embedded into student life, not as an interruption to education, but as an enabler of financial independence and real-world readiness. TimBuckDos focus in the year ahead is scale with structure, ensuring every opportunity is backed by systems that protect, formalise, and grow student earnings . Adding to this, Apoorv Sharma Prasad, Co-founder & COO, TimBuckDo , said, Opportunity alone is not enough. If student income isnt formal, protected, and supported by the right systems, it breaks the moment life throws a challenge. In 2025, our focus shifted from just enabling gigs to building the infrastructure that makes student earnings sustainable. Beyond income generation, the report highlights TimBuckDos evolution into a full-stack student work ecosystem. In 2025, the platform enabled students to formalise income through PAN cards, secure earnings with affordable wellness and insurance coverage, and stretch income through real-world student discounts and travel partnerships. On the employer side, the report reveals 1050x application rates per role, repeat hiring behaviour from trusted companies, and increasing demand for large-batch student hiring across sales, delivery, events, and digital roles. Reinforcing its commitment to trust, TimBuckDo also blocked 800+ scam job listings during the year. With Indias gig workforce expected to reach 24 million by 2030, The Doers Report 2025 positions students not as future contributors, but as an active workforce already shaping Indias gig economy. About TimBuckDo TimBuckDo is Indias leading student gig and work enablement platform, built exclusively to help students earn early, earn safely, and earn meaningfully. Powered by a nationwide community of over 4.5 lakh students, TimBuckDo connects verified employers with student talent across on-ground, remote, and flexible roles spanning sales, operations, content, events, technology, and customer support. Beyond gig discovery, the platform has evolved into a full-stack student work ecosystem enabling income formalisation through PAN cards, protection through affordable wellness and insurance solutions, and savings via exclusive student benefits and travel partnerships. By combining opportunity with infrastructure, TimBuckDo is helping build Indias next generation of financially independent, work-ready students.

From Delhi Capitals to UP Warriorz: Meg Lanning Gets Another Shot at WPL Glory

In November 2025 when WPL retentions were being finalized, one of the surprising news was that Australia's Meg Lanning is set to enter the auction pool as she was released by Delhi Capitals. She is not an ordinary player as she led Delhi Capitals to three straight finals in the first three editions of WPL. Probably not winning any one of them, went against her. In the mega auction, Delhi Capitals did attempt to bring her back but failed to acquire her and she was signed by the UP Warriorz for Rs 1.9 crore. Lanning, as a player, won two ICC Womens Cricket World Cups and five ICC Womens T20 World Cup titles. As captain, skippered Australia to T20 titles in 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2023 and one ODI World Cup title in 2022 but WPL title eluded her. Now the legendary former Australia captain has another chance to set the record straight and lead her new team to their first title as UP Warriorz have named her the captain. Incidentally Delhi Capitals are yet to win a single IPL title also. Meg Lanning otherwise is one of the most consistent performers in WPL: 952 runs in 27 matches at an average of 39.67 and strike rate of 127.10 and on many occasions gave Delhi Capitals a decent start to the innings through a successful opening partnership with Shafali Verma. It is a real honour to be named captain of the UP Warriorz she said. Im really looking forward to the challenge ahead. She knows that she has been chosen ahead of India allrounder Deepti Sharma, who stood in as captain last season for Warriorz in place of the injured Alyssa Healy. This adds to her responsibility. Warriorz are yet to win a WPL title. They were led by Healy in 2023 and 2024 and when she was ruled out of the 2025 season with injury, Deepti took over. This time, Warriorz released both Healy and Deepti but signed Deepti back while Healy remained unsold. Warriorz's registered their best finish in the inaugural 2023 season, as they finished third (lost to Mumbai Indians in the play-off). In the last season, they finished fifth. Will Meg Lanning better this record and remove the stigma of unlucky being associated with her, as far as winning the WPL title is concerned. *As captain she won: ODI WC, 4 T20 WCs, Gold in CWG, WBBL title. *As a player she won: 2 ODI World Cups, 5 T20 World Cups. *She became Australias youngest skipper in 2014, at the age of 21. *She is a three-time Belinda Clark Medal winner. *On her second ODI in 2011 against England, scored 103* at 18 years and 288 days of age and became the youngest Australian - male or female - to score an international hundred. *Scored 8352 runs from 241 international matches after debuting in T20s in 2010. sLed Delhi Capitals to 3 finals in 3 seasons as Captain but without success: * Delhi Capitals were the table toppers in all three seasons and directly qualified to each of these 3 finals but were defeated in all of them. *2 of the WPL seasons ended with Mumbai Indians (in 2023 and 2025) beating them in the final, despite playing the eliminator in both. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated them in 2024. * Delhi Capitals are only the 2nd franchise after Sydney Sixers to finish runner-up thrice in a top women's franchise league. *UP Warriorz gets its 3rd different captain in four seasons. The other team to have 3 different captains in the WPL is Gujarat Giants. *Meg Lanning joins Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur as the only women to captain in every WPL season. Also Read: Live Cricket Score In April 2024, Meg Lanning had announced her shock retirement as she struggled with an unhealthy relationship with exercise and food, at the age of 31. She continued playing in the Womens Big Bash League, the National Cricket League and the WPL but decided against representing Australia again. Recognized as having a great cricket brain, she is aptly nicknamed The Megastar.
