But I mean... isn't this just an example of demand and supply? Every country ahs delivery jobs and gig work man. Don't label india as a whole as something it is not. There is a need people are willing to pay a premium for and there is the service providers who fulfil that need. What's the problem in that?

This reflects a socialist mentality; it's all about the choices of people who want to deliver food. You don’t hear from DoorDash. If you have any logic in your statement, those who rent their rooms on Airbnb are alone or unemployed,those do freelancing actually they are unemployed and they are unable to find jobs!! don't read so many socialist books it's harmful for your mentality or our country also

what about usa they have doordash,foodpanda are they poor too ?

i agree with you to some extent. This is exploiting the poor in true sense but on the other hand it is giving them a sense of purpose and a bit of financial aid rather than being completely unemployed. This really is a good idea for someone who actually wants to upskill with the money they earned. Personally saw a case where he worked for Zomato, got a certification on frontend dev and is now working in a small services company as dev in tier 3 city. Not a substantial hike in income but better than working in scorching heat and rain.

Kaam mile toh andolan, kaam naa mile toh andolan. Bass ho gaya bhai, kitna andolan karoge? Desh aazaad ho gaya hai, hum bass apne mann ki gulaami se andolan karte rehte hai.

we should promote people with these kinds of mentality. because in the perspective of entrepreneurs we need 9-5 aspirants for our success.

Agreed! it's only because people don't have any work that they are forced to work as a delivery partner. And that's also a reason why the delivery partner's salary is so less leading to less delivery cost at consumer end

Well it does help with joblessness don't you think Jayant?

Seductive convenience.... Wow... You have hit the sweet spot where these giants play.... Quite an insightful writing. It compels one to think whether order next time or just go down the lane to the nearby shop to get it bought.

for the people who are ranting that it is good blash blah, the talk is of quick commerce like blinkit,zepto,dunzo and not swiggy and Zomato. rot minded people are comparing doordash with zepto and blinkit. zepto and blinkit come under quick commerce and straight away leads to exploitation as deliverables are smaller and they get paid less

buyer gets what he wants (consumer)seller got what he wants (zepto) middle man get what he wants(job (money)
