Yes, freelancing experience gets counted on a resume in India because you have had an experience of working and this is what the company needs-“experience“.However, some of the companies do not take this into consideration and I just don’t understand why do they do this?.
So, yes it is possible that in India some companies would not count freelancing as your experience. But, you should not lose heart by this. You should put down the services you have offered, for whom did you worked for and what experience did you gain from working as a freelancer.
