What does it really take to get your groceries in 10 minutes? AAP MP Raghav Chadha answers with a chilling video he posted online, confessing, ‘I’ve seen the pressure, risks, and challenges with my own eyes.’
From precarious rooftop climbs to high-speed chases through narrow alleys, the footage unmasks the extreme measures delivery partners endure daily. These unsung heroes of urban life pay a steep price for our impatience.
The quick-commerce boom, valued at billions, thrives on such heroics, but at what human expense? Safety advocates point to inadequate gear, exploitative incentives, and a culture of fear around delays.
Chadha’s post strikes at the heart of the issue, rallying support for systemic overhaul. He demands government intervention to cap delivery times and enforce labor standards, echoing concerns from India’s gig workforce.
Viral traction has prompted tentative acknowledgments from industry leaders, promising training and tech upgrades. Yet skeptics wonder if profit motives will prevail.
Chadha’s bold move underscores a broader crisis in modern work: when does efficiency cross into exploitation? As viewers grapple with the visuals, one thing is clear—the conversation on sustainable delivery has just accelerated.
