Overview
- Chadha invited the delivery executive, identified as Thapliyal Ji from Uttarakhand, to his residence for lunch after the clip resurfaced.
- During the conversation, the worker described extended hours, unpredictable earnings, algorithm-driven targets, and a lack of grievance redressal or social security.
- Videos of the interaction were shared on the worker’s Instagram, where he described Chadha as warm and said he felt respected by the gesture.
- Chadha, who raised these concerns in the Winter Session of Parliament, called the situation “systemic exploitation hidden behind apps and algorithms.”
- Reports note no immediate policy commitments or platform responses as discussions over clearer protections for gig workers intensify.
