On this Special Report, the focus is on the significant policy shift in India’s quick commerce sector. Following an intervention by Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, major delivery platforms including Blinkit, Zepto, Zomato, and Swiggy have reportedly agreed to withdraw their ’10-minute delivery’ promises. The minister warned that such aggressive timelines place delivery partners at serious risk on the roads. One delivery partner expressed relief, stating, ‘The people who are delivering food will get relief from the mental and physical torture they were undergoing.’ The report highlights how these platforms will now remove time-bound delivery guarantees from their branding, advertisements, and social media. This move follows long-standing demands from gig workers who cited immense mental and physical pressure to meet impractical deadlines. The government’s decision is seen as a major step toward recognizing the contribution of gig workers while ensuring their safety and better working conditions in the growing quick commerce economy.
