Kunal Kamra Asks Blinkit CEO To Reveal Wages Of Delivery Partners: "Platform Owners Exploit Gig Workers "

Standup comedian Kunal Kamra has been making headlines with his social media spat with Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal over his company's failure to address customer complaints and delivery of faulty products. Now, in the year 2025, Kamra has a new target.

Kunal Kamra Questions Blinkit CEO:

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.

About Blinkit CEO's Post:

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.

Can you also enlighten us with data on the average wages you paid your “Delivery Partners” in 2024… https://t.co/v0yBlvobCQ

Netizens Have Mixed Reactions: 

Re-sharing Dhindsa's tweet, Kamra, questioned, "Can you also enlighten us with data on the average wages you paid your ‘Delivery Partners' in 2024…" The post has garnered lots of attention. A user wrote, "I wish they had the guts; things would be so different selective data sharing has to stop..." Another commented, "Kamra! Bhai sirf criticism mat kia kar! Solution bhi dia kar!"

Here's What Kamra Said:

In a follow-up post, Kunal Kamra elaborated on the dark side of quick commerce, saying that platform owners exploit gig workers.

"While we enjoy the convenience of quick commerce I'd like my first tweet of 2025 to be about the dark side," he wrote on X.

He added, "Platform owners exploit gig workers & they aren't job creators. They are landlords without owning any land."

He continued, "They don't have a bone of creativity or innovation, all they do is exploit people by offering them freedom that they can't afford while giving them wages that can't meet their aspirations..."

"They are thugs that are using data as oil without paying for the oil fields. Someday there will be regulation that humbles them…" he concluded.
