Zomato CEO Reveals Why 5,000 Gig Workers Are Fired Monthly

• Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal stated 5,000 gig workers are terminated monthly due to fraud, while 1.5-2 lakh voluntarily leave.
• Terminations are primarily for fake orders, system misuse, and rule violations, compromising Zomato's trust model.
• Voluntary exits occur as gig work is often seen as temporary, with partners seeking better opportunities or moving sectors.
• The statement follows a New Year's Eve strike by gig workers demanding higher wages, better conditions, and safety coverage.
• New draft Labour Codes propose social security, minimum wage, and health benefits for gig workers, effective April 1.
