From margins to mainstream: Indian gig workers finally get formal safety net

New Delhi, 22/11: The newly notified labour codes represent a transformative and historic reform for India’s gig economy, finally bringing this vast segment of workers under formal regulatory recognition and social security.

For the delivery partner dropping off groceries or the driver navigating city traffic, this move signals the end of legal invisibility, transitioning them from the fringes of the “unorganised” sector into a formal social security net.
