Raghav Chadha, on Monday, shared a video in which he is seen turning into a Blinkit delivery agent and stressed his push for reforms in the gig economy of India’s e-commerce platforms and for better working conditions for delivery workers. The Rajya Sabha member’s exercise was aimed at understanding the everyday realities faced by delivery partners, an issue he has also raised in Parliament and on public platforms. The AAP MP posted a video on social media, seen dressed in Blinkit’s yellow uniform, wearing a helmet, and riding pillion on a delivery agent’s motorbike as they complete orders across the city. The visuals also saw him accompanying the worker through deliveries.

Sharing the video, Chadha captioned the post, “Away from boardrooms, at the grassroots. I lived their day.” His outreach comes amid growing demands from gig workers for a policy overhaul, including calls to end ultra-fast delivery timelines such as the 10-minute model, which workers argue increases pressure and safety risks. The AAP MP has been vocal about gig workers’ conditions in recent months. He had even hosted a delivery agent for lunch and conducted interviews with him to highlight concerns about pay, safety, and job security.

Earlier this month, Raghav Chadha criticised the business models of quick commerce and food delivery platforms, saying that if companies needed police support to function, it was “an admission” that the system “doesn’t work”.
