Gig workers Bill: Unease among startups

A group comprising top tech startups and unicorns has raised several "serious concerns" over a platform-based gig workers Bill proposed by the Karnataka government, saying it would hurt the ease of doing business.

They told the state government the Bill in its current form would hamper operations and increase regulatory and compliance burden on the nascent gig and startup economy, according to sources.

The group made the submission to the state government through various trade bodies such as the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom), and the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). A copy of the submission has been reviewed by Business Standard. Some of the companies that are part of the group include Swiggy, Ola, Zomato, Uber, Urban Company, and Amazon, sources said.
