Indian gig economy strikes back, exposing a broken model
The Indian gig economy is striking back. In December, around 40,000 delivery workers joined nationwide strikes, disrupting 50–60% of orders in several cities. Workers cited low and unstable pay, strict app control, and weak protections. As companies defend growth and politicians intervene, the protests highlight a widening gap between convenience and fairness in India’s digital jobs.
