Chandigarh February 27 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): A 20-year-old student pursuing Computer Science, German and BA (Hons) Psychology while working part-time as a delivery agent for Swiggy has called the corporate insurance offered by the company “useless”. The student claimed the insurance company “starts doing drama” as soon as they know that we are availing a company-sponsored insurance policy.
During an ask-me-anything session, a Reddit user asked the student, “Do they give you any kind of insurance?” He replied saying, “Yes, but it is useless. As soon as the insurance company gets to know it’s corporate insurance, they usually start doing drama and don’t let us claim.”
Another Reddit user asked the student if people should avoid ordering from 10-minute delivery platforms like Zepto and Swiggy, “given how exploitative they are”. “Because I don’t think that a greater volume of people ordering will translate into higher wages for you at the end and better working conditions,” the user added.
“It’s quite complicated if you ask me. I feel if you won’t order, someone else will. Likewise, if I won’t accept the order at ₹20, someone else is willing to do that happily,” the student said.
“I think quick commerce is just a bubble. Once all of these companies would start facing some real loss, they would come back to their senses,” he added.
Summary: A 20-year-old part-time Swiggy worker in Delhi criticizes the company’s insurance, claiming it’s ineffective and doesn’t provide adequate support when needed.
