India's gig workers, a rapidly expanding sector projected to reach 2.35 crore by 2029-30, are striking nationwide over low wages, job insecurity, and lack of social protection. Delivery workers from major companies like Amazon, Zomato, Swiggy, and Flipkart are participating. A recent survey indicates many earn less than Rs 25 per delivery, with a significant portion earning under Rs 10,000 monthly. These strikes, organized by unions like the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers, highlight growing concerns within the gig economy.
