Work minus gigs equals less giggles

Life of a gig worker remains under a socio-economic veil. Mysteries, intrigues, paradoxes, and contradictions surround her life. This has prompted several researchers to conduct controlled ethnographic studies by following them 24×7 for several days and weeks. Experts realise that watching the gig workers from a distance, or engaging with them via short and long interviews, does not provide a full picture. This is visible from a survey, which interviewed 1,355 employees across Karnataka, and whose excerpts were captured by a media website. More than clarity, the picture that emerges is foggy.
