Blinkit delivery partner viral video leads to lunch meeting with MP Raghav Chadha
A short video shared online by a Blinkit delivery partner recently struck a chord across social media, sparking fresh debate around the realities faced by India’s gig workforce. In the clip, the delivery executive candidly spoke about earning only ₹763 despite completing 28 deliveries over almost 15 hours—an experience that many viewers felt reflected a deeper systemic issue.
The video soon caught the attention of Raghav Chadha, who has consistently raised concerns in Parliament about the challenges faced by gig and platform workers. During the Winter Session, Chadha had already flagged issues such as low and unpredictable income, long working hours, and the lack of social security or legal protection for those working in app-based jobs. – Blinkit delivery partner viral video leads to lunch meeting with MP Raghav Chadha
Moved by the delivery partner’s account, Chadha reached out and invited him to his residence for lunch following the parliamentary session. The meeting was described as informal and empathetic, offering the delivery partner a rare opportunity to speak directly with a lawmaker about his day-to-day struggles.
During their conversation, the delivery partner spoke about the pressures of algorithm-based targets, uncertain payouts, extended workdays, and the absence of clear grievance mechanisms. He expressed gratitude for being heard, calling the interaction respectful and encouraging—something he said gig workers rarely experience. – Blinkit delivery partner viral video leads to lunch meeting with MP Raghav Chadha
Chadha, meanwhile, reiterated his resolve to continue pushing for policy-level changes, emphasizing that the rapid growth of India’s gig economy must not come at the expense of workers’ dignity and basic rights. He stressed that sustainable progress is only possible when economic models prioritize human well-being alongside technological efficiency.
The meeting served as a quiet but powerful reminder that real change often begins with listening—giving voice to those whose stories usually remain unseen behind app screens and delivery timelines.
