💨 Abstract

Delivery workers in India, often earning meager wages despite long hours, have staged strikes to demand better working conditions. Key demands include fair pay, abolition of the 10-minute delivery mandate, and implementation of social security benefits. Platforms like Zomato have pushed back, claiming workers earn decent wages and that the 10-minute delivery model is efficient. However, workers and studies show otherwise, highlighting the exploitation and risks they face.
