Gig workers GET welfare benefits AND long term support. (4/5) In 2025, Zomato and Blinkit spent over ₹100 crore on insurance coverage for delivery partners. These premiums are borne entirely by us, and the benefits are administered with record speed without any fuss. Coverage
Beyond insurance, we’ve added other forms of support where gaps are most visible. (5/5) 1. Period rest days of 2 days per month for women delivery partner 2. Support in filing income tax returns (95,000 delivery partners leveraged this) 3. Access to a gig-variant of National
Now tell me, is this unfair? Especially for an unskilled job, which is largely part time, and has zero barriers to entry.
Quick commerce’s 10-minute promise DOES NOT put pressure on gig workers, and it DOESN’T lead to unsafe driving. Why? (3/5) The most common concern is that faster delivery promises translate into pressure on delivery partners to drive unsafely. That isn’t how the system operates.
Delivery partners are not overworked on our platforms. (2/5) In 2025, the average delivery partner on Zomato worked 38 days in the year and 7 hours per working day, reflecting true gig style participation rather than fixed schedules. Only 2.3% of partners worked more than 250
Facts below (1/5): In 2025, average earnings per hour (EPH), excluding tips, for a delivery partner on Zomato were ₹102. In 2024, this number was ₹92. That’s a ~10.9% year-on-year increase. Over a longer horizon also, EPH has shown steady growth. Most delivery partners work
Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while. For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits
One more thing. Our 10 minute delivery promise is enabled by the density of stores around your homes. It’s not enabled by asking delivery partners to drive fast. Delivery partners don’t even have a timer on their app to indicate what was the original time promised to the
Agree. And literally everyone who has a job wants to get paid more. Everyone thinks they deserve better. At the end of the day, market forces decide how much does someone get paid. Companies reliant on gig economy compete very brutally with each other. Demand is more than the
The real minimum wage is ₹0. It is called unemployment. Millions of people in India are unemployed. In many small towns and cities, guys in their early 20s leave their houses on a bike, loiter around all day, drink and smoke with their friends and gamble on cellphone games.
Agree. I repeat – gig workers is one of the largest organised job creation engines in India. And we provide insurance, fair, timely and predictable wages. Gig doesn’t need more regulation, it needs less regulation. It will bring more people into the fold, who will be able to
Deepinder is right but very few people will agree to this. We have a Myntra warehouse right next door and it was buzzing today like every day, no one was on a strike or dharna. A lot of the kids who work there are in between jobs when they are unable to find anything else
I am all for peaceful protests against anything and everything. But violent protests and stopping others who want to work from working is not okay (proof attached). Here’s what we know – a number of these protestors were not even our delivery partners. They were agents of
Mill workers in Kanpur tried to act in a similar fashion. Result: Mills closed down. The next 2 generations of these workers couldn’t not even have 2 square meals a day. The trade unionist who instigated them went on to become a parliamentarian & lived in a plush Lutyens house.
Why is 12577 Superfast halted for 2 hr just to let express trains pass? Yesterday I missed Vande Bharat by 5 mins, no refund. Today there’s delay with zero info to passengers. What kind of management is this? Railmadad also closing complaints. @RailMinIndia @RailwaySeva
Today, in the country's banks, Rs 78,000 crore of our citizens own money is lying unclaimed. We don't know who this money belongs to, it is just lying there. Insurance companies have Rs14,000 crore, Mutual Funds have Rs 3000 crore. And all this money is lying unclaimed. This
Once upon a time, people believed the Earth was flat. And then they didn’t. Then they believed the sun revolved around the Earth. Until they didn’t. Humanity has built rockets, sequenced genomes, and cloned cells. Yet, in all our brilliance, we may have missed something
So many people keep asking me about Continue. What is it? What are you up to? Here you go... Continue started as a research effort two years ago, with the belief that if the human body is a system, it should also have its leverage points. The simple levers that, when adjusted,

Recent articles around one of our delivery partners from Meerut earning ₹300 for working more than 6 hours on the day of Diwali were inaccurate and disturbing to us. Our delivery partners are at the heart of our service and we make sure we offer them with great earning
