A video shared by Haritaannsh H Gaur (@haritaannsh.gaur5) shows him narrating a story highlighting the everyday struggles of gig workers and calling for greater empathy. The clip, reportedly set in a residential building context, reflects on how delivery personnel are often judged despite physically demanding work conditions. The video has resonated widely online, with many users supporting the message. 👉🏼 Story Highlights Everyday Realities In the video, Haritaannsh narrates an incident to underline the challenges faced by gig workers, particularly delivery personnel. 👉🏼 Growing Focus On Gig Economy Challenges India’s gig workforce has expanded rapidly, becoming a crucial part of urban life. However, workers frequently face issues such as limited job security, physical fatigue, and social bias. Conversations sparked by such narratives continue to shed light on the need for fair treatment and respect in daily interactions. 👉🏼 The Logical Indian’s Perspective Stories like these serve as important reminders that empathy can reshape how we engage with the world around us. Recognising the dignity of labour is essential to building a more inclusive society. Can we move beyond assumptions and choose to treat gig workers with the respect they deserve?

"Freelancing means we work on our own terms. But platforms have mandatory working hours," says a gig worker. "So, how are we freelancers? And even after everything, our jobs are not secured." Watch Kritika Pant's ground report on the gig workers' protest.

Do you use these apps?😅 I know I know.. Blinkit, Zepto etc aren’t going anywhere… YET! But the end of this 10-MINUTE Delivery System is a START to the end! And as someone who’s been against it from the start, this feels like a change to rejoice! I never use BLINKIT or ZEPTO. I mostly use the 2-Hour+ system given by Big Basket and mostly for items that aren’t easily available in supermarkets, like Vegan products. I NEVER buy Vegetables from them. I always opt for nearby stores or roadside vendors any day for veggies. Same with most products I purchase. Currently I’m planning to buy in bulk, items I need daily, like Tofu directly from the brands itself. The prices are MUCH lower on their websites when compared to on these apps. Because they have to price it up for the apps, to get a profit. Meaning you’re paying much more than what they’d usually charge, and JUST for that convenience. WOW. Im going to try and buy directly from brands, even FMCG ones, as much as possible. Or choose e-commerce platforms like @vegandukan etc for ordering my vegan items. What about you?😌 #gigworkers #blinkit #zepto #10minutedelivery #gigwork

Gig workers in India are hɨtting pause on New Year's Eve, striking nationwide on Dec 31 against exploɨtation by apps like Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, and Zepto. Imagine racing through traffic for 10-minute deliveries, facing hⱥrⱥssment and zero safety nets. This is the harsh reality fueling their fight for gig workers rights. ​ 👉Stɨke Spⱥrks Amid Peak Chaos After a massive Dec 25 flash strike disrupting 50-60% of deliveries, unions like GIPSWU and TGPWU escalate with this NYE action. Led by Shaik Salauddin, they're targeting "algorithmic punishment" and ID blocks that silence voices, exposing gig economy exploɨtation in food delivery and quick commerce. 👉Core Demands for Dignity Fix ₹20 per km rates, ₹40,000 minimum monthly pay, maternity leave, and end arbitrary deductions for platform workers. They demand legal recognition as "workers," not "partners," plus human support over AI, prioritizing safety over speed in India's booming gig economy. ​ 👉Urgent Govt Intervention Needed Platforms profit while workers break—will Labour Ministry Act? Recent social security codes mandate contributions, but unions say it's not enough. ​ ⚡⚡Do you back gig workers rights? Share your take below and comment, share, save!

Aap kya job karte ho? Gig workers work long hours without job security. They provide services with a smile, but inside, they fear low ratings or their ID getting blocked. Now things are slowly changing. Platforms like Yes Madam support gig workers by charging very low or 0 commission, providing free training to thousands of beauticians, and helping many single mothers earn independently. #ad #collab

The new gig worker rule looks pro-labour on paper, but smart platforms will game the system before day 90. Low-cost churn, stricter ID blocks, short-term workers—efficiency wins, stability loses. #zomato #gigworkers #quickcommerce #fooddelivery #indianstartups
