I do not fully understand the nuances of the gig economy, but what I do know is this.
Many patients recovering from mental illness, who do not get employment elsewhere and find it difficult to work 9 to 10 hours a day, are able to find jobs as delivery agents and become meaningfully employed.

The other option they earlier had was working as security guards, which is worse because sleep cycles get disturbed and salaries are significantly lower.

@deepigoyal you guys are doing good work in this sense.

Thirteen days after 27-year-old Dipu Chandra Das, a garment factory worker in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, was lynched, his two-year-old daughter is still frantically looking for her father, unable to understand or comprehend the loss.😴

Never forget the 80 Yazidi grandmothers who were buried alive by Islamists for being considered too old to be sex slaves.

Remember if you ever decide to hire or support this “businessman” & “product builder” - he’s a just a freeloading con artist out to scam you for money

[sushant sareen @sushantsareen]

And before the fake socialists and others of their ilk take aim at @deepigoyal, they should also disclose how much they tip the people bringing them their deliveries. I can bet they won’t bat ordering a dish for ₹1000 but tip ₹10, if they are feeling generous.

Muslim organization, CAIR, would like Mamdani to hire Muslims at all levels of city government, make special accommodations for Muslim students to pray in public schools, and go soft on anti-Israel protestors. I

Islam is the fastest growing religion in NYC thanks to higher rates of fertility among Muslims, and migration.

There is this desperate urge to start a ‘Gen-Z’ protest. The Aravali campaign was stillborn; the Gig-Worker protests were nipped in the bud. Protests around pollution could have worked but the protesters were rank morons.

@deepigoyal Ensure these goons get the full extent of law and never see day light again.

I want to respond to this with the perspective of someone who has been in the cloud kitchen and food business for over a decade, before Swiggy and Zomato even existed.

Back then, I ran my own in-house delivery rider fleet. I know exactly what it takes to keep riders on payroll, and I also know the reality that rarely gets spoken about. It was extremely difficult for small business owners. Fake vehicle maintenance claims, inflated fuel expenses, constant disputes, unionising purely to increase per-order payouts, absenteeism, and zero accountability were routine issues.
Not saying all riders were bad—but a significant majority acted only in their own self-interest, often at the cost of the business that employed them.

What Deepinder and Zomato attempted—and largely succeeded in doing—was to organise a completely unorganised sector and take away one of the biggest operational headaches for small restaurants and startups: managing a delivery fleet. Yes, commissions and ads sometimes feel painful and eat into margins. But if not for platforms like Zomato and Swiggy, many of today’s food businesses would never have been able to start at all, let alone scale or become profitable.

I say this with complete honesty and first-hand experience:
maintaining riders on payroll is not easy—at all.

These platforms have also created massive opportunities for the unskilled workforce, giving flexible earning potential to millions and pushing our economy forward. That impact cannot be dismissed.

Now coming to the so-called “peaceful strike.”

What we are seeing is not a movement for the betterment of honest gig workers. It is being hijacked by bad actors—the same crooks that exist in every informal economy—who want more money without accountability or hard work. Blocking others from working, intimidation, and violence is gunda-gardi, not protest. Dressing it up as a workers’ movement doesn’t change that reality.

I have personally dealt with such elements in the past. They don’t fight for fairness—they fight for free money and leverage, and in the process they end up spoiling a genuinely good opportunity for lakhs of honest earners who simply want to work, earn, and move ahead.

Peaceful protest is everyone’s right.
But coercion, violence, and stopping others from earning a livelihood is not justice—it’s exploitation under the disguise of activism.

And calling that out does not make one anti-worker. It makes one honest.

Indian zoomers have this misconception that Indian trade unions are cute and cuddly like those in Scandinavia.

[Abbas @Abbasshaikh]

Where i come from the working people get their fair share by you know? Working? The only reason i’d ever be worried about clawing someone else’s wealth is due to envy and scarcity

I do not understand these economies and societies well enough to have a very informed perspective but I’m seeing signs of this mindset creeping into most people my age and it’s done a lot of damage

It’s extremely unproductive and will lead you to a life of misery. On an individual level all that really matters is that you practice abundance. Become a net value creator. Produce things of value and understand that you can genuinely just create wealth

Your energy should not be spent on figuring how to tax the ultra rich in hopes of a little bit of it trickling down to you (which you know it won’t. You just like the idea that someone now has less than they did before)

Saw this on another quote tweet “Your fair share of someone's else's wealth is 0%”

[Ramanuj Mukherjee @law_ninja]

The entire downward arch of India after independence was caused by rejection of capitalism and embracement of socialism.

That embracement choked all growth. We were buried under bureaucracy and socialist squalor.

China despite their lip service to communism, opened up their markets and allowed capitalism to do its magic.

We became and remained poorer than the poorest sub-saharan regions for 50+ years thanks to socialist policies.

A limited opening up of the economy since 1990 under threat of national bankruptcy finally managed to get a lot people out of poverty but India's romance with socialist ideas remain an undercurrent, threatening to raise its head to swallow everything whenever it gets a chance.

Common Indians do not learn about or love free market capitalism yet. Most of them are taught socialist ideas as kids. Our teachers and professors are mostly socialists and cultural marxists.

And that remains one of our greatest national threat.

The barrage of data and information from @deepigoyal has fried communist brains

[Jai Anant Dehadrai @jai_a_dehadrai]

The Aam Aadmi Party, its ideology and the members of its crooked party are a cancer to India.

True to the toxic communist ideology that the AAP follows, Chadha too exemplifies the worst brand of cheap, click-bait centric performative politics.

His party currently governs Punjab, a state already burdened with structural debt, negligible private investment, and chronic unemployment.

Yet, beyond headline-friendly populism and short-term giveaways, there is little evidence of a coherent economic roadmap.

Chaddha and neither his low IQ bosses have any credible plan for fiscal consolidation. They have no strategy for industrial revival, and absolutely no vision for sustainable job creation.

Also the last time I checked - Chaddha hasn’t used his time in Rajya Sabha to lay out any pathbreaking ideas on how to fix Punjab.

Notice also that he has zero vision or ideas on how to create even a fraction of the lakhs of solid jobs companies like Zomato have created - but like the true Ellsworth Toohey second hander that he is, he contributes little of his own but will gladly undermine someone else’s creation with glee.

The faster Punjab sees through these charlatans and tosses them out, the better it will be for all of India.

[Max Matrix @max_matrix1]

National security is the only reason I still support BJP. Otherwise the sheer arrogance their leaders have, first with E20, then Madhya Pradesh, even in UP, Cars with BJP flag are mostly breaking the law with no actions being taken, showing how hypocrite these guys have become.
