New Delhi: After spending a large part of 2024 engaged in a verbal spat with Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal over his company’s failure to address customer complaints and delivery of faulty products, comedian Kunal Kamra started 2025 by taking aim at the quick commerce sector.
Kunal Kamra asked Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa to reveal how much his company’s delivery partners earn.

Quick commerce platforms have seen a huge boom in India over the last few months. Major players like Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and Zepto are now operating in major Indian cities, delivering groceries and other household goods to customers’ doorsteps in a matter of minutes.
While customers rave about the convenience of quick deliveries, Kunal Kamra pointed out the more problematic side of such platforms, noting how they exploit gig workers with unfair wages and long working hours.
Kamra’s attack began on New Year’s Eve, while Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa was live-tweeting about the enormous number of orders coming their way. New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest times for platforms like Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart and people across India stock up on party essentials like soft drinks, chips, ice cubes etc.
On New Year’s Eve 2024, Dhindsa shared an X post saying 1.2 lakh packs of condoms and 45,000 bottles of mineral water were out for delivery through Blinkit. This was among the many order insights he shared during the night.
Kamra, however, was more interested in finding out how much Blinkit “delivery partners” earned through these deliveries.
