Health insurance for gig workers is ‘worthy’ move: Swiggy on Union Budget

It is very encouraging to note that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman considers platforms and gig workers an important part of India’s urban landscape, a senior Swiggy official said on Friday.

Dinker Vashisht, Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Swiggy, said, however, that the Centre’s decision to cover gig workers under health insurance through the PM Aarogya Yojana is a worthy one, though more details are awaited.
