Overview
- Releasing a YouTube film on Jan. 19, the AAP MP worked a shift alongside a Blinkit rider in Delhi to document conditions from the saddle, using the rider’s app and ID to complete orders.
- Riders described 15–16 hour days and near-daily work with scant rest, with examples including ₹1,136 earned over 14 hours and expectations of ₹40,000–₹50,000 per month falling to less than half.
- Take-home pay is further cut by out-of-pocket costs such as petrol, bike rent and repairs, mobile data, uniforms and rain gear, with several riders alleging weak accident cover and burdensome claim processes.
- Workers said 10-minute delivery promises drive unsafe speeding and traffic violations and cited injuries, even as managers deny pressure; the slogan appears on gear and supervisors insist on rapid drop-offs.
- Chadha frames the video as advocacy rather than an attack on companies, praises newly released draft Social Security Rules, and notes the Labour Minister’s call for platforms to drop rigid 10-minute pledges.
