The gig economy in India has witnessed rapid growth and is projected to grow at a 17% compound annual growth rate. It is estimated that by 2030, this sector could employ up to 23.5 million workers and contribute 1.25% to India's GDP. Tier-II and Tier-III cities are emerging as key hubs for gig-based work, especially in areas like e-commerce, delivery, and ride-sharing services.

The gig economy refers to a labor market characterized by short-term, flexible, and independent work arrangements instead of traditional full-time employment. It typically involves individuals performing temporary or project-based tasks, often facilitated through digital platforms. Examples include delivery drivers, freelancers, consultants, and ride-share drivers who work with platforms like Uber, Swiggy etc.

This economic model offers flexibility and autonomy to workers and helps companies reduce costs associated with full-time employment. But gig work culture is fraught with significant challenges that undermine its promise of empowerment. One key symptom is income instability, as workers often face irregular and unpredictable earnings, making financial planning a daunting task. Lack of job security exacerbates this, with gig workers frequently at the mercy of shifting demand and opaque algorithms. The absence of traditional employment benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, and retirement savings further compounds their vulnerability. This precarious nature fosters mental and emotional stress, leaving workers in a perpetual state of uncertainty. Moreover, limited legal protections and collective bargaining power often render gig workers voiceless in disputes or unfair practices, underscoring the structural imbalances within this economic model. These symptoms collectively point to a system that prioritizes corporate flexibility over worker welfare, raising questions about its sustainability and fairness.
