ThePrintPod: 'Tipping cannot replace fair pay for India’s delivery gig workers. It’s only moral comfort'

ThePrint

About this episode

Every time India’s delivery workers surface in the news — whether for earning Rs 762 after a 15-hour shift and 28 deliveries, or for being forced to walk nearly a kilometre into an apartment complex because security won’t let their bike through — we’re invited to examine our consciences. In this familiar run-around, we look on with appropriate distress, urge each other to tip generously, and make the effort to walk down to the gate. Watch ThePrint columnist Karanjeet Kaur explains 'How platforms that manufactured a culture of 10-minute delivery have now made consumers an equal party to the exploitation of workers.'.
