Is this the end of 10-minute deliveries? 🛑🛵
On New Year’s Eve 2025, while millions of Indians prepared to celebrate, the backbone of the digital economy—our delivery partners—decided to log off. Thousands of gig workers from Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit, and Amazon have launched a nationwide strike to protest what they call "modern-day exploitation."
