After spending a large part of 2024 engaged in a verbal spat with Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal over his company’s failure to address customer complaints and delivery of faulty products, comedian Kunal Kamra started 2025 by taking aim at the quick commerce sector. While customers rave about the convenience of quick deliveries, Kunal Kamra pointed out the more problematic side of such platforms, noting how they exploit gig workers with unfair wages and long working hours. Kunal Kamra takes on quick commerce 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. The dark side of quick commerce In a follow-up post, Kunal Kamra elaborated on the dark side of quick commerce, saying that platform owners exploit gig workers. “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.” Kamra likened CEOs of quick commerce companies to “thugs”, noting how they are allowed to exploit gig workers as no regulations or laws exist to stop them.
