Food delivery and quick-commerce platforms, including Swiggy and Zepto, have approached the Karnataka High Court challenging the Karnataka Platform-based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Act, 2025.
The companies argue that the law imposes an excessive financial and compliance burden while raising constitutional concerns over certain provisions. They have sought a stay on the Act’s implementation, claiming it could impact business operations.
The legislation aims to provide social security benefits, including welfare measures, for gig workers. The High Court is expected to hear the petitions in the coming days.
