India’s Gig Economy: Powering Our Future, Deserving Protection The gig economy is transforming India—millions of delivery drivers, freelancers, and service providers are at the heart of this new workforce. It offers flexibility and opportunity, but the reality behind it is stark. Gig workers are driving our economy forward, yet they’re left without basic protections like health insurance, job security, and fair wages. These workers keep our food deliveries coming, our rides on time, and services at our fingertips—yet they face financial instability, unpredictable pay, and little to no safety net. Let’s not forget—the gig workers powering our everyday lives are real people with families and dreams. They deserve security, respect, and fair treatment. It’s time we stand up for their rights and push for the protections they’ve earned. Together, we can build a future where every worker is valued and protected.

are we ignoring the fact that these workers lack basic protections? How long can we rely on a system that leaves them vulnerable? What about that flipkart guy who delivered a phone COD and got murdered? Scary stuff is happening in the world, everywhere.

The gig economy is giving so many people opportunities they didn’t have before, great thing honestly. Still i read somewhere about someone criticising that because of this we push people to not make more money. Because this is endless supply of cheap labor.
