12 lakh gig workers, 20 aggregators registered on e-Shram portal so far: Labour ministry

Around 12 lakh gig workers and 20 online aggregators have so far registered themselves on the e-Shram portal of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, which is in the process of creating a national database of the unorganised workforce in the country.

“The on-boarding exercise on the e-Shram portal is under way. Around 10 to 12 lakh unorganised workers have been on-boarded, while 20 aggregators, including Zomato, Swiggy, and Uber, have also registered themselves. However, the aggregators are yet to register their entire workforce on the portal,” a ministry official said.
