A social entrepreneur, Anand Sankar, has publicly criticized Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal's remarks about gig workers, particularly Goyal's use of the term "miscreants" to describe striking delivery partners. Sankar, founder of Tons Valley Shop, defended gig workers as the backbone of businesses and stated his commitment to speaking out despite potential business repercussions. This comes after Zomato reported fulfilling over 75 lakh orders on December 31, with Goyal crediting law enforcement for managing disruptions caused by the strike demanding better pay and conditions.
