Breaking away from commission-based fees, Mereka opts for subscription model for its talent marketplace of experts

Quick Summary:

One platform, Toptal which connects businesses with software engineers, designers, finance experts, product managers, and project managers, charges up to 40%. 

Finding this to be fundamentally unfair, "because the person delivering the service is the expert, but the platform as an intermediary takes a huge cut of their earnings,” said Rashvin, Mereka aims to disrupt this with the introduction of its subscription based talent marketplace platform in June where talent do not have to pay the platform for the number of jobs they get.

With the gig economy in Southeast Asia valued at US$3 billion, said Rashvin, Mereka is targeting to sign-up 50,000 experts on the platform over the next eight years.
