Gig delivery workers across India are preparing to go offline on New Year's Eve (31 December) in protest against their working conditions. The nationwide strike is expected to cause significant delays in food, grocery, and e-commerce deliveries, affecting major platforms such as Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit, Amazon, and Flipkart.
This strike follows a similar walkout on Christmas Day, which led to delays of between 50% and 60% in various locations. Organised by the Telangana Gig and Platform Workers' Union (TGPWU) and the Indian Federation of App-Based Transport Workers (IFAT), the protest highlights ongoing issues faced by gig economy workers in India.
