As India faces severe heatwaves with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms are stepping up to protect their delivery workers. These gig workers, often exposed to extreme weather while navigating busy city traffic, face risks of dehydration and heat-related illnesses. In response, Amazon has initiated 'Project Ashray', establishing 100 air-conditioned rest stops across major cities, offering amenities like clean washrooms and first aid, serving over 150,000 delivery partners monthly. Zomato has collaborated with partners to set up 5,000 rest points for shade and hydration, while also providing health insurance covering hospitalization for heat-related conditions. Other companies, including Zepto and Swiggy, are enhancing their facilities with cooling technologies and distributing summer kits containing essential hydration supplies. These proactive measures reflect a growing recognition of the occupational hazards faced by gig workers in India's booming e-commerce sector.
