The ugly truth behind being a gig-economy worker in India

Ola, Foodpanda, Uber workers face the worst working conditions.
- Ride-hailing unicorn Ola and its food-delivery subsidiary, Foodpanda, scored the least in the study by the Fairwork project, an initiative led by two Oxford University researchers.
- The companies have been marked on a scale of 1 to 10 based on five core areas: pay, conditions, contracts, management, and representation.
- The only criterion that Ola, Foodpanda, and Uber met was pay, which means they were found to have paid at least the local minimum wage, including employment costs incurred by the worker.
- Whether you’re a delivery driver in Bengaluru, London, or Johannesburg, there is a common experience of risk, and often that translates into the potential for bad working conditions,” Woodcock said.
