Food delivery riders, including Zomato and Swiggy workers, in India’s capital city Delhi have said they are risking their lives to deliver while on poor wages.
They battle a ticking clock, traffic, and demanding customers – along with worries about how they will make ends meet.
“Look at this – I got 51 rupees ($0.67; 51p) for a delivery 8km away,” one worker said.
The riders say rising fuel costs are now cutting into their limited income, and they face greater competition between India’s start-ups to deliver food and groceries within 10 minutes.
