Drawing from firsthand experience, he exposes the physical strain, emotional stress, and systemic challenges faced by gig workers every day. This conversation examines how delivery platforms thrive on the relentless labour of their delivery partners—and raises urgent questions about exploitation in India’s gig economy.
