The underbelly of the gig economy ft Vandana Vasudevan

In recent years, online retail has transformed how we shop—bringing everything from food to taxis to our doorstep. The convenience is undeniable, but the gig economy behind it remains largely unexamined. How does this system impact those who work in it, use it, or build it? This week on the show, host Sandip Roy speaks to social science researcher Vandana Vasudevan, author of OTP Please: Online Buyers, Sellers and Gig Workers in South Asia , to explore the hidden human stories behind the apps and algorithms that power our everyday lives. Produced by Shashank Bhargava Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
