💨 Abstract

Gig workers in India are facing significant challenges, including long working hours, low earnings, and lack of insurance or medical support. Many work 11-12 hours daily for modest pay, with no job security or benefits. Workers like Sanjeev Kumar Sharma and Mahesh highlight the struggle to meet daily targets and the absence of support in case of injury. Shakir Raza points out issues of dignity and safety, such as unreasonable customer demands.
