"hard work, sweat of the brow, burning bone marrow — all this gives you more sense of pride than the work you actually do!"

here’s Dominic CostaBir, in his own words, on why he chose to be a gigger?
i chose to be an entrepreneur; becoming a gigger was accidental, but the benefits were amazing…
1. freedom and flexibility to choose assignments.
2. gained experience across multiple organisations simultaneously.
3. have fun - i graduated from institute of hotel management (ihm), mumbai (in 1990). i decided i didn’t want a boring full-time job and wanted to get-rich-quick. so, i opted to start dine-a-mite caterers. thanks to the competition, only a few potential clients approached me and even fewer trusted me as i was a novice. in the first year, i got just 6 small orders. how do i survive if i continue in business and stay out of a full-time job? fortunately, a caterer who i’d worked with as a waiter (while at ihm), approached me to manage his caterings part-time. perfect! i could continue my business, gain experience and earn (he paid well). i began doing similar gigs for other caterers. then a lady running annapurna (bulk meals for corporates) offered me a full-time position. i convinced her that i’d work part-time yet deliver full-time results. it got better, i got another gig with an office canteen (vsnl) to upgrade their kitchen, menu, food and team. my gigs with vsnl and annapurna lasted over 11 years – with monthly retainers and increments. simultaneously, i ran dine-a-mite caterers and did several other gigs – consulting for restaurants, selling insurance (in dubai) and training. i remained a gigger for over 12 years before quitting to start hospitality training institute (HTI) in 2002. life has come a full circle —from starting as a gigger, to founding 'CoLaBoRate' — an app to help giggers earn, learn and experience freedom, flexibility and fun!

let’s play the game: “would you rather…?”

if born a tiger 🐅 would you rather be born in a zoo or the jungle?

hmmmm, we know what most of y’all are thinking (we ran a poll with this question👆🏻).
let’s think again…

in a zoo, you’ll never have to worry about the basic necessities; you’ll get your food and shelter.

in fact, in a zoo, life seems way better! well, for starters, you have a doctor on call👩🏼‍⚕️ let’s not forget, you don’t have to worry about defending your territory!

ask yourself again: why the jungle? “freedom” — screams the little child inside of us!

we agree, nothing is worth more than your “freedom & flexibility to choose”…

no amount of food, no amount of safety or security trumps the satisfaction we get from having the “freedom & flexibility to choose!”

yet, it comes at a cost!
a cost that not all of us are willing to pay! where you must prove yourself every day, go out and hunt every day…

no matter how strong, how powerful, how experienced or how many kills the tiger has, no deer 🦌 no zebra 🦓 no gaur (forest bull) 🦬 comes up to the tiger and drops themselves in front of the tiger because of how great the tiger “was”.

this freedom comes at the cost of having to give up the feeling of “entitlement” and having to “prove yourself everyday”.

so, risky? for sure! worth it? let us know (in the comments)…

Collaboration is 🔑

It’s only until we came together as a nation that we were able to set our own values and principles…

Now, as we ready ourselves to take the next leap…

It is time for us to remember…
