Zomato offers retirement benefits to gig workers
The New Indian Express Chennai
|October 03, 2025
INDIA'S gig economy is witnessing a critical shift as platform companies begin to formally address the long-ignored need for social security among their vast workforce.
In one such development, food delivery platform Zomato has collaborated with HDFC Pension to introduce the NPS Platform Workers Model-a major step toward securing the retirement of its delivery partners.
Unveiled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on NPS Diwas on Wednesday, the initiative directly tackles the financial precarity faced by independent platform workers. Despite NITI Aayog estimating the platform workforce will balloon to 23.5 million by FY30, this segment has historically lacked access to formal retirement benefits, resulting in negligible retirement savings.

THE BHAKTI CONTINUUM
THE raising of the Dharmadhvaja at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was a profoundly moving moment for many, and it may be worth recalling the egalitarian socio-religious movement that prevails at the temple. This is not about upholding an agenda but about our right to know our own history and heritage.
