Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has taken a unique step to spotlight the challenges faced by gig workers.
In a teaser video shared on X, Chadha was seen donning a Blinkit uniform, carrying a delivery bag, and accompanying a delivery partner to fulfill an order.
The clip ends with a cliffhanger message—“Stay tuned”—leaving viewers curious about what comes next. Chadha captioned the post: “Away from boardrooms, at the grassroots. I lived their day. Stay tuned.”

This symbolic gesture comes after Chadha raised concerns in Parliament about the hardships of delivery executives, including low pay, long hours, and a lack of social security. In December 2025, he had also met Blinkit delivery executive Thapliyal Ji, whose viral video on earnings sparked widespread debate.
By stepping into the shoes of a delivery rider, Chadha aims to connect his parliamentary advocacy with lived experience, underscoring the need for better protections and recognition for India’s gig workforce.
