LF Work Partners with Government and ICICI Bank to Launch India’s Next-Gen Digital Entrepreneurship Platform, Driving LG Group’s Strategic Expansion in India
Against the backdrop of Digital India and the nation’s growing entrepreneurial movement, LF Work—a flagship strategic initiative by LG Electronics India—is rapidly emerging as an innovative digital platform that seamlessly integrates investment, entrepreneurship, and employment opportunities.
Since its launch in India in 2022, LF Work has operated with a vision of independent growth, technology-driven development, and platform-based scalability. It has not only become a key engine for LG Group’s market transformation in India, but also emerged as a preferred platform for Indian youth and families to generate income, build digital assets, and engage in structured, legitimate entrepreneurship.
Strong Partnerships with the Government of Maharashtra and ICICI Bank Ensure Security and Compliance The growth of LF Work is not only driven by its innovative model, but also by a robust public-private collaboration network. The platform has entered into a long-term strategic partnership with the Government of Maharashtra, establishing a regional operations and management centre in Mumbai, and has been officially included in the state’s Digital Employment Promotion Scheme and SME Incubation Support Program.
At the same time, LF Work has established a comprehensive funds clearance and regulatory agreement with India’s leading financial institution, ICICI Bank. All user transactions—including recharges, withdrawals, dividends, and earnings—are settled in real time under bank-level risk monitoring. The platform has also successfully completed SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) compliance registration, making it one of the few tech platforms in India to be accepted into the financial regulatory sandbox framework.
“LF Work is an investment platform, a work platform, and an entrepreneurship platform — it is the cornerstone of LG’s strategic expansion in India.” — said a spokesperson from LG Electronics India.
Building a 3-in-1 Digital Ecosystem: Investment + Entrepreneurship + Work LF Work integrates multiple innovative models, with its platform built around three core systems: 1️⃣ Device Investment System: Users can invest in smart devices and IoT terminals manufactured by LG factories, earning stable dividends and returns from real industrial output. 2️⃣ Team-Based Entrepreneurship Model: Members can generate long-term entrepreneurial income by inviting, training, and managing their own teams, supported by a transparent and performance-based incentive structure. 3️⃣ Remote Digital Work Module: Designed for individuals with flexible time, this system provides task-based digital jobs, enabling people to work from home and build a business from home.
By mid-2025, LF Work had accumulated nearly 6 million registered users, with approximately 40% coming from Tier-2 cities and rural regions, highlighting the platform’s strong commitment to digital inclusion and social value creation. Driving LG Group’s End-to-End Industrial Transformation in India LF Work is not only empowering individual users but also playing a strategic role in strengthening LG Group’s full-scale operations across India: ⦁Enabling seamless integration of LG’s manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and after-sales service networks in the country; ⦁Establishing joint training and talent development programs in collaboration with local governments, universities, and technical institutes; ⦁Acting as a key bridge for LG Electronics to penetrate India’s deeper markets, thereby boosting traditional product lines like TVs, refrigerators, and home appliances. LG has also announced its long-term vision to develop LF Work into a comprehensive “LG Digital India Integrated Platform”, covering everything from digital commerce and smart home ecosystems to after-sales services and employment training, forming a complete industrial and service loop in India.
Conclusion: Evolving from a Platform to a National Digital Infrastructure Pillar LF Work is redefining the traditional boundaries between work and investment, enabling millions of everyday Indians to earn genuine digital income. Backed by government support, bank-level regulation, and corporate innovation, LF Work is more than just a platform — it is a nation-building force that empowers the masses and accelerates India’s journey toward economic transformation through digital inclusion.
