The regulatory change by the India — India to remove 10-minute delivery mandates is expected to impact quick-commerce and food delivery platforms like Zomato — Blinkit, Metric prefix, Zomato, and Swiggy by potentially altering their operational models and customer expectations. While it may lead to increased operational costs or slower delivery times, it is viewed positively for gig worker welfare, which could mitigate reputational risks for these companies.

The India — India, influenced by advocacy from India — Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha and Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, has directed quick-commerce and food delivery platforms to cease their 10-minute delivery commitments. This intervention follows widespread concerns about the safety, working conditions, and pay of gig workers, who were reportedly pressured to meet unrealistic deadlines. Companies such as Zomato — Blinkit, Metric prefix, Zomato, and Swiggy were involved in discussions, with Zomato — Blinkit already revising its branding. The move is hailed as a significant victory for gig workers, aiming to ensure their safety and dignity on Indian roads.
