A new study reveals that freelancers in Gilgit-Baltistan are earning an estimated $15 million annually, far surpassing the $3.5 million generated by local IT companies.
With 3,000–4,000 freelancers working through platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, GB is emerging as a freelancing hub despite challenges in connectivity and infrastructure.
The region’s high literacy rate and growing digital talent have attracted support from PAFLA, SCO, and development organizations, leading to new tech parks, training programs, and coworking hubs.
