Transparency, fair practices won't kill gig economy: Author | The Federal

In a conversation with The Federal, Vandana Vasudevan, author of OTP Please, a book on the gig economy in South Asia, unpacks the hidden and dark realities of India’s gig economy, the challenges faced by delivery workers, drivers, warehouse staff in new digital jobs. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, surveys and research, she explains how falling incomes, opaque pay cuts, algorithmic control and lack of security are fuelling anger of gig workers. Vasudevan also discusses conditions in 'dark stores' run by global behemoths, the dangers of 10-minute deliveries, and the absence of transparency in tech platforms. While tech platforms have opened a plethora of opportunities, especially for women, the author warns that consumer convenience, instant gratification is coming at the cost of hard human labour. As strikes grow and regulation debates intensify, the interview raises urgent questions about rights, accountability and the future of gig work. #gigeconomy #gigworkers #onlinedelivery #futureofwork #zomato #swiggy #amazonindia #darkstores #labourrights #digitalindia ▶For the latest news and analysis - https://thefederal.com/  ▶RSS Feed - https://thefederal.com/google_feeds.xml ▶For more explainers, and interesting videos - https://thefederal.com/category/videos ▶To watch The Federal's shows listed together for your easy access, click here:    • The Federal Programmes   Follow The Federal News here - ▶Website: https://thefederal.com/ ▶Facebook:   / thefederal.india   ▶X: https://x.com/TheFederal_News ▶Instagram:   / thefederal_india   ▶LinkedIn:   / thefederal   ▶Whatsapp channel: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029... ▶Threads: TheFederal India (@thefederal_india) ▶Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3fy3utP...
