Why are gig workers in India protesting?
Nathalia Jimenez, a BBC business reporter in New York covering global labour and markets, and Meghna Kanwar, a Delhi-based labour reporter, discuss huge gig-worker protests. They talk about strikes over pay and penalties, the backlash against 10-minute deliveries, unpaid travel time and road dangers. The conversation spans legal fights, company concessions and how quick-commerce is reshaping work in India and beyond.
