Gigstart is a marketplace that facilitates quick and transparent connections between entertainers and party planners. Incepted in December 2013 in New Delhi, the company leads artists, performers and other organisers to their potential clients.
As far as the most popular categories are concerned, singers topped the list with 30 per cent of queries on the marketplace. DJs and photographers emerged as the next most sought-after categories at 15 per cent each, followed by Comic Artists at 10 per cent and Anchors or Emcees at 9 per cent.
An observation of the queries and their trends on the platform revealed that there is also a palpable demand for alternative entertainment options in India such as Magicians and Comic Artists. 3 per cent of the queries on Gigstart were for artists such as Darpan Dua, Hiten Panwar and Jonqui. Kanan Gill and Abijit Ganguly have clearly become the country’s favourite Comic Artists with the maximum number of queries for this category coming for them.
Atit Jain, co-founder, Gigstart.com, said, “It was a fruitful and exciting year for all performers and artists listed on the platform. Interestingly, there was a fine balance in the demand for both popular and emerging entertainers, clearly demonstrating that the trends in parties and events are evolving and organisers are becoming more experimental by the day. The queries also show the immense opportunity offered to bourgeoning artists as they share the same space and often similar clientele as established and renowned performers.”
