Zomato Founder Calls for Less Gig Economy Regulation Amid Worker Protests

Zomato and Blinkit founder Deepinder Goyal advocated for less regulation in India's gig economy, suggesting it would integrate more workers into the organized sector. This stance contrasts with ongoing protests by gig worker unions demanding better pay and safety, particularly concerning rapid delivery times. Goyal defended 10-minute deliveries, attributing them to store density rather than unsafe driving. The government recently notified labor codes aiming for universal social security for gig workers.
