New Delhi [India], September 15: Behind every Gintaa order is a partner who brings it to life. Unlike other delivery apps that treat gig workers as interchangeable labor, Gintaa sees them as Entrepreneurs. Laxman Jaiswal, Gintaa’s Managing Director, has championed multiple partner-first policies: insurance coverage, weekly payouts, and safety training. More than a job, Gintaa offers its delivery partners a dignified, flexible career path. With recruitment drives in tier 2 and 3 towns, onboarding support in regional languages, and peer mentorship programs, the platform ensures every partner feels seen and supported. As the gig economy evolves, Gintaa’s model has the potential to inspire frameworks that prioritize human values in the next era of innovation.
The gig economy is rapidly transforming India’s employment landscape, contributing to over 15% of the urban workforce as per a 2023 International Labour Organization (ILO) report. Yet, many gig platforms treat delivery workers as temporary, interchangeable labor—fueling debates around job insecurity, poor pay, and lack of social protection. Gintaa, an innovative delivery platform, is rewriting this narrative by positioning its delivery partners as entrepreneurs, not just gig workers.
Under the leadership of Laxman Jaiswal, Managing Director of Gintaa, the platform has adopted a partner-first model that emphasizes dignity, flexibility, and growth. “We don’t just offer jobs, we offer a sustainable career path,” Jaiswal explains. This philosophy drives a suite of innovative policies designed to empower delivery partners while building a more responsible and human-centric business model.
