New Year’s Eve Strike: Gig Workers To Log Off; Viral Blinkit Rider Benjamin Ryan Gautam Speaks Out

On this Special Report, the focus is on the looming strike by gig workers from Zomato, Swiggy, and Blinkit on New Year's Eve, one of the busiest nights of the year. Unions warn that tens of thousands of delivery partners may log off to protest declining pay, safety concerns, and algorithmic control. The programme features an interview with Benjamin Ryan Gautam, a Blinkit delivery partner and viral content creator known for his 'Get Ready With Me' videos. While the anchor highlights systemic issues like 'pay' and 'safety', Benjamin shares his personal experience, stating, 'I am very happy that there is no problem in payout,' though he acknowledges the pressure of 10-minute deliveries. The discussion explores the balance between the convenience economy and the welfare of its invisible labour force.
