3 things to know about Tech Mahindra's newly launched global crowdsourcing platform Populii

Tech Mahindra has launched a new crowdsourcing platform, Populii, which is designed to connect gig workers with major organizations for micro jobs, particularly in human-in-the-loop services.

Populii aims to provide flexible work opportunities for the gig economy and assist businesses in developing competitive AI algorithms with data from trained professionals.

What will Populii offer?

Populii will offer a wide range of opportunities in data management, microtasks, and user studies, partnering with top industry enterprises.

The platform will feature gig jobs such as content rating, data collection, transcription, and annotation across various data types. It also supports enterprises in creating advanced machine-learning models by providing access to a skilled and flexible workforce.

The platform operates on three key principles: Advise, Annotate, and Acquire, which aim to streamline enterprise operations and accelerate product development.

Populii will utilize Tech Mahindra's expertise to offer advice, ensure quick annotation with high-quality machine-learning datasets, and facilitate the acquisition of diverse data types in over 80 languages.

How will it benefit job seekers and enterprises?

For gig workers, Populii provides a premier community with flexible job opportunities, upskilling, and timely payments. Enterprises, on the other hand, will gain access to rich, accurate data tailored to their business goals.

The new platform is built on the DataMime foundation, which Tech Mahindra acquired in 2020. It offers customizable workflows on a secure, multitenant architecture.
