India's Gig Economy Debate: Worker Conditions vs. Platform Defense

A debate is ongoing regarding the gig economy in India, with Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal defending the model by highlighting earnings, flexibility, and insurance. He argues it makes inequality visible to consumers. Conversely, gig worker unions and AAP MP Raghav Chadha criticize the conditions as "not decent work," citing low net pay after expenses, lack of social security, and the stress of rapid delivery targets. Former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has accused AAP of being "job killers" for politicizing the sector, predicting job growth.
